If we permit ourselves to be deceived by the illusion of transcendental idealism, we shall find that neither nature nor freedom exists. KWNR recently announced a significant aquisition involving anti-microbial sterilization and disinfection needs for the food processing and medical industries. For, if freedom were determined according to laws, it would be no longer freedom, but merely nature. The intelligible character, of which the former is but the sensuous schema, knows no before or after; and every action, irrespective of the time-relation in which it stands with other phenomena, is the immediate effect of the intelligible character of pure reason, which, consequently, enjoys freedom of action, and is not dynamically determined either by internal or external preceding conditions. If this were not the case, the causality of reason would be subservient to the natural law of phenomena, which determines them according to time, and as a series of causes and effects in time; it would consequently cease to be freedom and become a part of nature. I should be justified, however, in applying these conceptions, in regard to their practical use, which is always directed to objects of experience--in conformity with their analogical significance when employed theoretically--to freedom and its subject. The laws of freedom or of free will are hence termed practical laws.
