Abstract

It was an excellent idea of Mr. Strasser to submit to a detailed analysis the fundamental phenomenon of what in German is called ‘Gemüt’—there is no exact English equivalent—on which little is found in philosophical literature. Without doubt it is one of the fields in psychology which, notwithstanding all that has to date been done in the domain of ‘Tiefenpsychologie’ and other modern trends, is still to a great extent terra incognita.
