People should also not want to determine themselves causally in such a way: I will now ... become good once and for all, and do good by nature, because I could not then do anything else. For through this one denies the freedom which can in each moment negate all the past. ... One makes himself into an object when one establishes causality in that way; for a morality to which I have been compelled is already not a morality. (Otto Weininger)
