%X This case study in the history of ¡°passion¡± and ¡°emotion¡± is based on the writings of William James. James is famous for his (1884) theory of emotion. However, like his illustrious colleague, Th¨¦odule Ribot, he also recognized the importance of ¡°passion¡± in psychology. That aspect of James¡¯s work is underappreciated. Ribot explicitly defends the necessity of including ¡°passion¡± in psychology. James does not go that far. But he does utilize a very similar concept in connection with the term ¡°passion¡± and there can be little doubt he considered it scientifically legitimate. Consequently, like Ribot, James must be considered an exception to historical accounts of this period which describe a transition from ¡°passion¡± to ¡°emotion¡± in which ¡°passion¡± plays no part
