Krause on the Concept of Gemüt and the Phenomenology of Subjectivity

When we think about our subjectivity, we do so using words and expressions taken from our mother tongue. While doing so, we also reflect on the inherited meaning of the terms used. We find possible ambiguities, evolution of meanings, and so forth. Frequently, as a side result of our work with those terms, we proceed to a reformulation or transformation of a traditional meaning.
