Kant in Fichte
Los ideales poskantianos se manifestaron, a su vez, en Fichte, y mostraban que la libertad no es ninguna realidad, sino un acto que se pone a sí mismo como libre, determinando al puro yo; por lo que un sistema determinista parte de lo dado y la libertad parte del ponerse a sí misma; es una especie de autocontención para ser libre

posit itself as free
This must, I think, be referring to a key statement of Fichte in which he uses the German expression "sich als frei setzen", referring to the I, the self:
"Das Ich ist frei, indem und dadurch daß es sich als frei setzt, sich befreit: und es setzt sich frei, oder befreit sich, indem es frei ist.
http://www.gleichsatz.de/b-u-t/trad/fichte/jgf-WL4a.html
Compare:
"Esta primacía radicaría no solo en el hecho de que para Fichte el actuar es la forma en que el yo se “pone” como libre [...]"
https://books.google.es/books?id=RVaupswLTWIC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA...
This verb has been translated into English as "posits itself":
"The I is free inasmuch as it posits itself as free or sets itself free [sich befreit]."
https://books.google.es/books?id=3mDD4lTdHHEC&pg=PA307&lpg=P...
In other words, "poner" really means "suponer" here.
