Section 105
Original German
105 Zweyter Theil. Die Moralität.
Der moralische Standpunkt ist der Standpunkt des Willens, insofern er nicht bloß an sich, sondern für sich unendlich ist. (vorh. §.) Diese Reflexion des Willens in sich und seine für sich seyende Identität gegen das Ansichseyn und die Unmittelbarkeit und die darin sich entwickelnden Bestimmtheiten bestimmt die Person zum Subjecte.
