Note 385 — Chapter II
Francis Plumptre Beresford Osmaston translation
This is, I think, Hegel's meaning for das an sich selbst Subjektive. Its content is also formally ideal or abstract as above explained, but to express this he would rather have used the word ideell or innerlich. It is also, as I have pointed out, in great measure ideal in the sense that as musical tone it is not natural even in the qualified sense that colour is. It is even more dependent on the human organism for its quality and synthesis. But I do not think Hegel means subjective in this sense, but that it directly expresses human emotion.
