Bubner I 107
Spontaneity/Kant/Bubner: spontaneity of the mind is in two ways dependent on the receptivity of sensuality:
(1) material of observation is provided, which concretely limits the purity of the mind action.
(2) if the action, triggered by no alien factors, encounters the limit of its freedom, where it is at the mercy of the contingency of a material-based experience at all.
Spontaneity as such is not yet under conditions, as they come into play only by consideration of the knowledge-enabling role.
The exploration of spontaneity needs only to orientate itself on the action character.

Adorno XIII 67
Spontaneity/Kant/Adorno: all that implies thinking, which is a kind of effort, an activity, and in which there is arbitrariness and in which freedom is. Whether or not I think, and even if it is the simplest (...) depends (...) to some extent on the effort I am doing.

Adorno XIII 68
Consciousness/Mind/Kant/Adorno: If the active consciousness is per se, if it is to be mind per se, then the barrier of individual consciousness is abandoned.
The thought of the mind as an absolute active does indeed occur in Leibniz and Kant has taken it directly from Leibniz, but it is just alien to the older rationalism.
