Section 143
Original German
143 Indem diese Einheit des Begriffs des Willens und seines Daseyns, welches der besondere Wille ist, Wissen ist, ist das Bewußtseyn des Unterschiedes dieser Momente der Idee vorhanden, aber so, daß nunmehr jedes für sich selbst die Totalität der Idee ist, und sie zur Grundlage und Inhalt hat.

143 Since this unity of the concept of the will and its existence, which is the particular will, is knowing, the consciousness of the difference of these moments of the Idea is present, but in such a way that each of them is now for itself the totality of the Idea and has it as its foundation and content.
