But regarding the       >>>>> second, namely the dynamical, class of antinomy, the falsity of the       >>>>> presupposition consists in this: that something that is unifiable       >>>>> is represented as contradictory; consequently, while in the first       >>>>> case both of the mutually opposing assertions were false, here on       >>>>> the contrary the assertions, which are set in opposition to one       >>>>> another through mere misunderstanding, can both be true.       >>>>>       >>>>> Specifically, mathematical combination necessarily presupposes the       >>>>> homogeneity of the things combined (in the concept of magnitude),       >>>>> but dynamical connection does not require this at all.

In the       >>>>> same way, if the subject of freedom were represented, like the       >>>>> other objects, as a mere appearance, contradiction could again not       >>>>> be avoided, for the same thing would be simultaneously affirmed and       >>>>> denied of the same object in the same sense. But if natural       >>>>> necessity is referred only to appearances and freedom only to       >>>>> things in themselves, then no contradiction arises if both kinds of       >>>>> causality are assumed or conceded equally, however difficult or       >>>>> impossible it may be to make causality of the latter kind conceivable.       >>>>>       >>>>> Within appearance, every effect is an event, or something that       >>>>> happens in time; the effect must, in accordance with the universal       >>>>> law of nature, be preceded by a determination of the causality of       >>>>> its cause (a state of the cause), from which the effect follows in       >>>>> accordance with a constant law. But this determination of the cause       >>>>> to causality must also be something that occurs or takes place; the       >>>>> cause must have begun to act, for otherwise no sequence in time       >>>>> could be thought between it and the effect. [IDEA #344] Both the       >>>>> effect and the causality of the cause would have always existed.       >>>>> Therefore the determination of the cause to act must also have       >>>>> arisen among the appearances, and so it must, like its effect, be       >>>>> an event, which again must have its cause, and so on, and hence       >>>>> natural necessity must be the condition in accordance with which       >>>>> efficient causes are determined. Should, by contrast, freedom be a       >>>>> property of certain causes of appearances, then that freedom must,       >>>>> in relation to the appearances as events, be a faculty of starting       >>>>> those events from itself (sponte - spontaneous), i.e., without the       >>>>> causality of the cause itself having to begin, and hence without       >>>>> need for any other ground to determine its beginning. But then the       >>>>> cause, as to its causality, would not have to be subject to       >>>>> temporal determinations of its state, i.e., would not have to be       >>>>> appearance at all, i.e., would have to be taken for a thing in       >>>>> itself, and only the effects would have to be taken for appearances.       >>>>>       >>>>> NOTE: The idea of freedom has its place solely in the relation of       >>>>> the *INTELLECTUAL* (des Intellektuellen), as cause, to the       >>>>> appearance, as effect. Therefore we cannot bestow freedom upon       >>>>> matter, in consideration of the unceasing activity by which it       >>>>> fills its space, even though this activity occurs through an inner       >>>>> principle. We can just as little find any concept of freedom to fit       >>>>> a purely intelligible being, e.g., God, insofar as his action is       >>>>> immanent. For his action, although independent of causes       >>>>> determining it from outside, nevertheless is determined in his       >>>>> eternal reason, hence in the divine nature. Only if something       >>>>> should begin through an action, hence the effect be found in the       >>>>> time series, and so in the sensible world (e.g., the beginning of       >>>>> the world), does the question arise of whether the causality of the       >>>>> cause must itself also have a beginning, or whether the cause can       >>>>> originate an effect without its causality itself having a       >>>>> beginning.
