limitation
"It is the combination of the imperative in limiting thinking and the deed, now of course far removed from Kant's ideas and assumptions, which was important for me in the title of this book."

focus (of philosophical inquiry)
Here's what I chose as a translation (I guess "focus" then):
The title I chose for my book reflects precisely this relation between the absolute as a focus of philosophical inquiry – now of course far from Kant’s thoughts and theories – and the deed.

Discussion
Es ist diese Verbindung vom Unbedingten als gedanklicher Entgrenzung � jetzt selbstverst�ndlich weit entfernt von Kants �berlegungen und Thesen � und der Tat, auf die es mir im Titel des Buches ankam.
