The outcome of what follows is that truth is not, as is usually assumed, an ideal reflection of something real, but is a product of the human spirit, created by an activity which is free; this product would exist nowhere if we did not create it ourselves. The object of knowledge is not to repeat in conceptual form something which already exists, but rather to create a completely new sphere, which when combined with the world given to our senses constitutes complete reality. Thus the highest human activity, human creativeness, is an organic part of the universal world-process. The world-process should not be considered a complete, enclosed totality without this activity. The human is not a passive onlooker in relation to evolution, merely repeating in mental pictures cosmic events taking place without human participation. The human is the active co-creator of the world-process, and cognition is the most perfect link in the organism of the universe.

This insight has the most significant consequences for the laws that underlie our deeds, that is, our moral ideals; these, too, are to be considered not as copies of something existing outside us, but as being present solely within us. This also means rejecting [Immanuel Kant’s] “categorical imperative,” an external power whose commandments we have to accept as moral laws, comparable to a voice fromt the Beyond that tells us what to do or leave undone. Our moral ideals are our own free creations. We have to fulfil only what we ourselves lay down as our standard of conduct. Thus the insight that truth is the outcome of a free deed also establishes a philosophy of morality, the foundation of which is the complete free personality.
