Abstract

The scientific development in fields like psychophysiology or biology and the curiosity of thinkers such as Charles Darwin, William James, or Wilhelm Wundt regarding the concept of “emotion” caused the change of the linguistic use of this word definitively. During the XIX century, this concept went from occupying an exclusive place in the theological and moral discourse to being a central concept in the consolidation of new scientific disciplines that belong to the human being. In Colombia, the experimental psychology introduced this new way to understand emotion. This article is a bibliographic revision of those authors that were essential for this change during the XIX century.
