In ethical life, the order comes into its right. The self-will of the individual, which stands against everything, disappears. Conscience that sets itself against the world also loses its opponent.

Does this mean that a person gives himself up?

No. The ethical person knows the order as his own purpose. He finds his dignity in it. His own aims have their ground in it. He himself wills what it demands.

The order, in turn, lives only through him. He is the form in which it is actual. A difference between him and the order remains. But it is no longer an opposition.

Summary: In ethical life, the opposition between the individual and the order disappears. The individual finds his dignity in the order. The order lives through him.
