The question of transcendental freedom is purely speculative, and we may therefore set it entirely aside when we come to treat of practical reason. For it cannot be alleged that, instead of the laws of nature, laws of freedom may be introduced into the causality of the course of nature. In relation, however, to the principle, whereby reason sets bounds to a freedom which is in itself without law, and consequently when we attend merely to their form, they may be considered as pure conceptions of reason. Freedom has been considered in the foregoing remarks only as a transcendental idea, by means of which reason aims at originating a series of conditions in the world of phenomena with the help of that which is sensuously unconditioned, involving itself, however, in an antinomy with the laws which itself prescribes for the conduct of the understanding.
