19th Century Johann Gottlieb Fichte EnglishFurther: - Within this its Formal Being, this Power is also determined by an unconditional Imperative. It shall recognise itself as the Schema of the Divine Life, which it is originally, and through which alone it has Existence; - consequent]y this is its absolute vocation, in which its efficiency as a Power is completely exhausted. It shall recognise itself as the Schema of the Divine Life, - but it is originally nothing more than a Power, although most assuredly it is this determinate Power of the Schema of God: - if it is to recognise itself as such a Schema in Reality, then it must make itself so actually, by the realisation of the Power - by its self-realisation.
