Examples
-
In religion as well as in morality there is manifested the reckless independence of the (now, for the first time, vigorously and mightily self-conscious) subjective spirit, from any and all unconditional objective authority, whether of nature or of spirit, — an untamedness and intractableness of the strong individual will, daring deeds, but also a violent wildness of the unbent will and of the passions, — a highly excited turmoil-without goal or purpose.
