It follows that a state for Cohen is not a fixed entity but constantly in transition; in other words, it constantly acts in the form of legislation. And when it acts, it also acts for a reason or goal. And the goal of the state is to produce self-consciousness. “I cannot produce the self-consciousness of the will in my natural individuality,” Cohen claims, and then goes on to suggest that

only through the laws can this be made possible, and according to the universality, which only the state fulfills as unity, can I renounce all selfishness, and learn to think and will only in the correlation of I and you.

(ERW 283)
