Term Emotions Feelings

It is very interesting to hear, how terms like emotions, feelings, sensations etc. have been defined in the rennaissance. I learned last year, that the word 'Gefühl' is rather new. It would be interesting to hear an extra episode about the developements/changes of all the terms related to emotions much later in the HOP throughout history. e.g. in the 18th century or later. (Actually that kind of podcasts would be very interessting for all sorts of philosophic terms and definitions. )

Thank you for this intervew.
