Nature, therefore, and transcendental freedom are distinguishable as conformity to law and lawlessness. 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. But in this case, laws are nothing more than limitations of our freedom upon conditions under which it subsists in perfect harmony with itself; they consequently have for their object that which is completely our own work, and of which we ourselves may be the cause by means of these conceptions. The problem was merely this--whether freedom and natural necessity can exist without opposition in the same action. That element in the question of the freedom of the will, which has for so long a time placed speculative reason in such perplexity, is properly only transcendental, and concerns the question, whether there must be held to exist a faculty of spontaneous origination of a series of successive things or states. The reader must be careful to remark that my intention in the above remarks has not been to prove the actual existence of freedom, as a faculty in which resides the cause of certain sensuous phenomena. Freedom, in the practical sense, is the independence of the will of coercion by sensuous impulses. Possibility of Freedom in Harmony with the Universal Law of Natural Necessity.
