Freedom and the consciousness of it as a faculty of following the moral law with unyielding resolution is independence of inclinations, at least as motives determining (though not as affecting) our desire, and so far as I am conscious of this freedom in following my moral maxims, it is the only source of an unaltered contentment which is necessarily connected with it and rests on no special feeling. This may be called intellectual contentment.
Askatasuna eta horren kontzientzia jaidura indartsuz lege moralari jarraitzeko ahalmen gisa, joeretatik beregain izatea da, gutxienez gure irrikatzearen bultzatzaile determinatzaile gisa (afektatzaile gisa ez bada ere), eta, nire maxima morala betetzean horretaz jabetzen naizen heinean, horrekin halabeharrez lotuta dagoen, ezein sentimendu berezitan oinarritzen ez den poztasun aldaezin baten iturri bakarra da, eta horrek adimenduzko izena har dezake.
