Cross-references
Die grenze, die hegel zieht
conscience does not know the content of the good from itself. It must recognize from the world what is good; otherwise it remains formal and can justify any conviction.
Deshalb der übergang
where conscience seeks a content, it finds it in ethical life --- in relations that already exist.
