Original German

110 Diese Identität des Inhalts erhält aber auf dem moralischen Standpunkt wo die Freyheit, diese Identität des Willens mit sich, für ihn ist, (§. 105.) die nähere eigenthümliche Bestimmung.

a) Der Inhalt ist für mich als der Meinige so bestimmt, daß er in seiner Identität nicht nur als mein innerer Zweck, sondern auch, insofern er die äußerliche Objectivität erhalten hat, meine Subjectivität für mich enthalte.

110 But this identity of the content receives, on the moral standpoint, where freedom, this identity of the will with itself, is for the will (§ 105), its closer, peculiar determination.

a) The content is determined for me as mine so that in its identity it contains my subjectivity for me, not only as my inner purpose but also insofar as it has received external objectivity.

110 At the moral standpoint, however, this identity of content receives a further, distinctive determination. At this standpoint, freedom—this identity of the will with itself—is present for the will (§ 105).

a) The content, as mine, is determined in such a way that, in its identity, it must contain my subjectivity for me not only as my inner end but also insofar as it has acquired external objectivity.
