    Third Part: Ethical Life

    ETHICAL LIFE is the Idea of freedom in that on the one hand it is
    the good become alive — the good endowed in self-consciousness
    with knowing and willing and actualised by self-conscious action —
    while on the other hand self-consciousness has in the ethical realm its
    absolute foundation and the end which actuates its effort. Thus
    ethical life is the concept of freedom developed into the existing
    world and the nature of self-consciousness.
