It certainly seems that, as a body must be cogitated as substance in space, the law of divisibility would not be applicable to it as substance. For in this sphere action is absolutely necessary, that is, I must act in obedience to the moral law in all points. Now this again presupposes, in conformity with the law of nature, a previous condition and its causality, and this another anterior to the former, and so on. For then honour, and custom, and civil laws supply the place of natural conscience, and produce, in some degree, the same effects. Eternal phenomena must be capable of influencing it; and its actions, in accordance with natural laws, must explain to us how its empirical character, that is, the law of its causality, is to be cognized in and by means of experience. The question, then, suggests itself, whether freedom is possible; and, if it is, whether it can consist with the universality of the natural law of causality; and, consequently, whether we enounce a proper disjunctive proposition when we say; "Every effect must have its origin either in nature or in freedom," or whether both cannot exist together in the same event in different relations.
