-
two standpoints from which we can make sense of our experience.
-
Let me try to explain what he means by these two standpoints.
-
As an object of experience, I belong to the sensible world.
-
There my actions are determined by the laws of nature
-
and by the regularities of cause and effect.
-
But as a subject of experience, I inhabit an intelligible world here
-
being independent of the laws of nature,
-
I am capable of autonomy,
-
capable of acting according to a law I give myself.
-
Now Kant says that,
-
"Only from this second standpoint can I regard myself as free
-
for to be independent of determination by causes in the sensible world is to be free
