Kant's philosophy - Rational cosmology: How is the world made up and does freedom exist in it?

According to Kant it is the most remarkable phenomenon of human reason, that in rational cosmology, that field of metaphysics which is dealing with the world as a whole, it gets tangled up in antinomies, that is a contradiction with itself. It here gets into various questions, not least among them whether there is freedom or just the causality of nature, where there is a thesis and an antithesis which both seem equally correct, but also seem to exclude one another. It is this antinomy in our reason, which first awakened Kant from his dogmatic slumber and convinced him that reason needs to undergo a critique. And it is the solving of this problem where the whole Critique of Pure Reason leads to.
