• One could deny the claim that there is immediate self-consciousness involved in a free action of a spirit. We would only have to remind such a person once more of the conditions of self-consciousness ... . This self-consciousness does not force itself into being and is not its own source; one must really act freely and then abstract from objects and concentrate only upon oneself. No one can be compelled to do this, and even if he pretends to, one can never know if he proceeds correctly and in the requisite way. In a world, this consciousness cannot be demonstrated to anyone; each person must freely create it in himself. (查看原文)
