Freedom, in the practical sense, is the independence of the will of coercion by sensuous impulses.
Freedom, in the practical sense, is the independence of the will of coercion by sensuous impulses. The transcendental speculation of reason relates to three things; the freedom of the will, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of God. For, if freedom were determined according to laws, it would be no longer freedom, but merely nature. If we permit ourselves to be deceived by the illusion of transcendental idealism, we shall find that neither nature nor freedom exists. We must understand, on the contrary, by the term freedom, in the cosmological sense, a faculty of the spontaneous origination of a state; the causality of which, therefore, is not subordinated to another cause determining it in time.
