    The concept of freedom must have influence on the domain of nature, despite the two domains being separated by an unbridgeable theoretical gulf.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The concept of freedom imposes ends through its laws.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The ends imposed by the laws of freedom must be realized in the sensible world.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The sensible world belongs to the domain of nature.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Causal closure of the physical domain entails that every physical event has a sufficient physical cause, leaving no causal gap for freedom to occupy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If freedom cannot introduce new causal chains into nature without violating physical law, its 'influence' reduces to an epiphenomenal gloss on purely natural processes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Hume's fork establishes that relations between distinct domains can only be known through experience or conceptual analysis, not mere practical postulation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Kant's own theoretical philosophy bars synthetic a priori knowledge of how a noumenal freedom could interact with phenomenal nature, making the 'influence' claim unintelligible by his own critical standards.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Although there is an incalculable gulf fixed between the domain of the concept of nature, as the sensible, and the domain of the concept of freedom, as the supersensible, so that from the former to the latter (thus by means of the theoretical use of reason) no transition is possible, just as if there were so many different worlds, the first of which can have no influence on the second: yet the latter should have an influence on the former, namely the concept of freedom should make the end that i
