The i asserts its freedom action, and the i is determined and limited by the objective world (external reality), yet it acts upon that world; it also determines that world, and changes it. This is how the i satisfies its desire and natural impulse to manifest and assert its freedom. But, the i in its endless striving, would only be completely and wholly satisfied in practise in completely overcoming, changing, appropriating objectivity as a whole. Therefore, the i would only achieve satisfaction by becoming the absolute i. Philosophical problem: for the i to be absolute, there would be no consciousness, for there would be nothing left for the i to be conscious of. There would be nothing left of the ego"s absoluteness. In an absolute state, there would no longer be content nor objectivity. The individual finite i"s desire to wholly appropriate objectivity is in some sense the annihilation of reason.
