In this discord between the subject and his notion, which is set up with and by conscious- 106 PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION. ness, lies the necessary and natural basis of evil. For while man posits himself as subject, as this particular being, his will is in the first place merely this particular will, is filled with what belongs to singleness, with particular impulses and inclinations ; i.e. the natural man is self-seeking. Evil, accordingly, is not a struggle in which man engages with a foreign pow...er, nor a conflict of man's reason with the alien power of sense ; nor is it merely a defect of power in the consciousness of God as against the sensuous consciousness ; no, it is the inner self-contradiction of the spirit, the contradiction of its existence and separate state as an individual subject, and its uni- versal nature as spirit. Hence evil accompanies human freedom from the first as the first mode of its manifestation. Freedom con- tains in itself the essential moment of that division ; it arises in the feeling of independent existence over-against other being, even against the univeraality and reasonableness of the wilL " In this division independence is set up, and evil has its seat ; here is the source of evil, but also the point from which atonement ultimately arises.
