The body, insofar as it is immediate existence, is not adequate to spirit; in order to be spirit’s willing organ and animated instrument, it must first be taken into possession<\/em> by spirit (\u00a7 57<\/a>). \u2013 But for others<\/em> I am essentially a free being in my body, as I immediately have it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Only because I am alive as a free being in my body may this living existence not be misused as a beast of burden. Insofar as I live, my soul (the concept and, at a higher level, the free) and my body are not separated; the body is the existence of freedom, and I feel in it. It is therefore only an ideaeless, sophistical understanding that can make the distinction that the thing in itself<\/em>, the soul, is not touched or attacked when the body<\/em> is maltreated and the existence<\/em> of the person is subjected to another’s violence. I<\/em> can withdraw from my existence into myself and make it something external \u2013 hold particular sensation away from myself and be free even in chains. But this is my<\/em> will; for the other<\/em>, I am in my body; that to be free for the other<\/em> is possible only as being free in existence<\/em> is an identical proposition (see my Science of Logic<\/em>, vol. I, p. 49 ff.) 1<\/a><\/sup>. |54|<\/span> Violence done to my body<\/em> by others is violence done to me<\/em>.
That, because I feel, the touching of and violence against my body touch me immediately as something actual<\/em> and present<\/em>, constitutes the difference between personal injury and the violation of my external property , in which my will is not in this immediate presence and actuality.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\n\n
