# 502  A distinction has thus emerged between the law (right) and  the subjective will. The 'reality' of right, 

which the personal will in  the first instance gives itself in immediate wise, is seen to be due to  the 

instrumentality of the subjective will − whose influence as on one  hand it gives existence to the essential 

right, so may on the other cut  itself off from and oppose itself to it. Conversely, the claim of the  subjective 

will to be in this abstraction a power over the law of right  is null and empty of itself: it gets truth and reality 

essentially only  so far as that will in itself realises the reasonable will. As such it  is morality(2) proper.
