Kant's philosophy - Do we have free will or: How are categorical imperatives possible?

In the Critique of pure Reason Kant shows that freedom is an idea of something completely supersensual. Through experience can neither be proven nor, as philosophically uncultivated people like to think nowadays, disproven. But likewise it can neither be proven or disproven by pure reason in theoretical metaphysics. Practically we find ourselves to really be free however. We find that we have a moral duty and responsibility. Each shall however implies a can. And so Kant manages to show in the Critique of Practical Reason that we are free, autonomous beings.Quote: 0:08Freedom is connected with rationality and morality: 1:30The possible doubt of freedom: 5:43The question of the Critique of Practical Reason: How are practical synthetic judgments a priori or categorical imperatives possible: 14:24Hypothetical imperatives are analytic and grounded in the principle of contradiction: 25:53Categorical imperatives are synthetic and grounded in the idea of freedom: 48:24We appear as unfree and still are free as noumena: 55:04The practical argument for freedom: 1:13:46Practical reason offers access to the supersensual which theoretical reason cannot grant: 1:33:57Thanks: 1:55:02The imperatives according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/imperatives-according-to-Kant.jpgIn order to understand Kant's practical proof of freedom, one should first duty the Critique of Pure Reason, at least the passages on the antinomies: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm. The proof itself can then be read in the Critique of Practical Reason: https://www.bard.edu/library/arendt/pdfs/bc_Arendt_Kant_CritiquePracticalReason.pdf or the Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals: https://www.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/kant1785.pdf.Whoever wants to support my aufkläring work can do so via:https://ko-fi.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.patreon.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VDDT7T7XHR77UThumbnail: www.hotpot.ai
