The demand that this contradiction (like the contradiction present in the other kind of wrong; § 86, § 89), which is present here in the manner in which the wrong is annulled, should be resolved, is the demand for a justice freed from subjective interest and shape as well as from the contingency of power — a justice which is thus not avenging but punitive. In this lies, in the first place, the demand for a will which, as a particular subjective will, should will the universal as such. This concept of morality, however, is not merely something demanded, but has itself emerged from this very movement.
