Unbewussten, 3) the unconscious is the absolute principle, active in all things, the force which is operative in the inorganic, organic, and mental alike, yet not revealed in consciousness (ibid., 365).

Both Carus and von Hartmann seem to grant freedom only to consciousness itself. Freedom is often indeed chaotic, so the paradox exists for both the unconscious and conscious modes. Von Hartmann accords so much to the unconscious that he actually makes it the coordinator of evolution and the destiny of humanity (Vol. 2, pg. 38-39).
