The Pure I as Causa Sui
Abstract
The valuational tendency of Being self-evidently implies the practical tendency of becoming such and such, and in view of the infinitely distant pole of direction as well as in view of the idea of absolute perfection on the basis of absolute mind do the best you can at this moment and thus in view of time possibilities get better all the time. The absolute ideal of perfect personal Being, identical to the absolute reason, is accompanied by the humane ideal of humane development. From the perspective of all his intellectual faculties, the absolute ideal is the absolutely rational and thus absolutely perfect subject. It adheres to his essence that he creates himself according to his universal and absolute will as the absolutely rational subject of absolute rationality. For his life stems from the aboriginal rational will, from which pulsates all his activity. In view of his rationality, an absolutely rational person is therefore a causa sui
