92

Because the will is Idea, or actually free, only insofar as it has determinate being, and the determinate being into which it has placed itself is the being of freedom, violence or coercion destroys itself immediately in its own concept, as a manifestation of a will that supersedes the manifestation or determinate being of a will. Violence or coercion is, therefore, abstractly considered, wrongful.

    [zu § 92/93] Coercion is force directed against a natural existence in which a will is lodged – if this will is a particular will opposed to the universal will, then it is in itself coercion – or else the will is as yet only in itself –
    To take up this will that is [merely] in itself, that is not yet a conscious will – occurs along the path toward the conscious will.
