If, on the contrary, we subsume the concept of will under that of force, as has hitherto always been done, we renounce the only immediate knowledge which we have of the inner nature of the world, for we allow it to disappear in a concept which is abstracted from the phenomenal, and with which we can therefore never go beyond the phenomenal.
Aitzitik, subsumitzen badugu, orain arte gertatu denez, nahimen kontzeptua indarrarenean; orduan munduaren barneko esentziaz daukagun ezagutza bitartegabe bakarraz gabetu egiten gara, agerpenetik abstrahituriko kontzeptu batean hondoratzen uzten diogun bitartean, zeinarekin horregatik ezin izango baikara inoiz agerpenaz haratago joan.
