Freedom, in the practical sense, is the independence of the will of coercion by sensuous impulses.

 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. These unavoidable problems of mere pure reason are God, freedom (of will), and immortality. 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.
