It was to remedy this failure that Fichte undertook his thought experiment, asking his auditors to think simply for the sake of thinking and to reflect on the result. The attempt was intended as an expression of pure freedom. But the result, as reflectively apprehended, had to be a failure – not just because, as a matter of fact, one cannot think without actually thinking something in particular, but because the difference between the intended infinite thought and the thought (now an object) de facto finitely apprehended is precisely what creates the distance between the subject of experience and his object that makes the experience a conscious one. With- out that distance, there is no consciousness.
