Document Summary
Understanding produces concepts: understanding: categories + intuitions = knowledge statements. It is an idea of coherency about the universe. We"re trying to get out of the 1st critique (pure reason) and slowly move to the 2nd critique (practical reason) Slowly but surely we"re working our way there. Whether there was freedom in the world of it were deterministic by material causality. There are some acts of determinism but there are also acts of. In a way, both are correct spontaneous freedom. From the pov of understanding (empirical pov) it"s true that every effect has a cause. But they can never produce the ought". No amount of sensuous temptations" or natural ground" can replace or lead to ought". The ought" is an ideal: its outside time, it"s a timeless creature, its beyond time and universal, it"s a sense of duty. This means reason creates a new order of causality. The belief of the agency of thought.
