If we permit ourselves to be deceived by the illusion of transcendental idealism, we shall find that neither nature nor freedom exists.

 These unavoidable problems of mere pure reason are God, freedom (of will), and immortality. Now the question is; "Whether, admitting the existence of natural necessity in the world of phenomena, it is possible to consider an effect as at the same time an effect of nature and an effect of freedom--or, whether these two modes of causality are contradictory and incompatible?" I have to remark, in the first place, that at present I treat of the conception of freedom in the practical sense only, and set aside the corresponding transcendental conception, which cannot be employed as a ground of explanation in the phenomenal world, but is itself a problem for pure reason. We blame all treachery and breach of faith; because we consider, that the freedom and extent of human commerce depend entirely on a fidelity with regard to promises. 
It merely presents us with the conception of spontaneity of action, as the proper ground for imputing freedom to the cause of a certain class of objects.
 I didn't even design their sites! If we permit ourselves to be deceived by the illusion of transcendental idealism, we shall find that neither nature nor freedom exists.
