not, indeed (as is easily seen) for the purposes of the theoretical, but of the practical use of reason. Now the notion of a being that has free will is the notion of a causa noumenon, and that this notion involves no contradiction, we are already assured by the fact-that inasmuch as the concept of cause has arisen wholly from pure understanding, and has its objective reality assured by the deduction, as it is moreover in its origin independent of any sensible conditions, it is, therefore, not restricted to phenomena (unless we wanted to make a definite theoretic use of it), but can be applied equally to things that are objects of the pure understanding.
Baina nahimen askea duen zerizan baten adigaia causa noumenon baten adigaia da, eta adigai horrek bere burua ez kontraesatea dagoeneko segurtatua dugu kausaren adigaia osorik adimen hutsetik sortu delako, eta aldi berean haren errealitate objektiboa ere dedukzioaren bidez segurtatua dugu oro harrezko objektuei dagokienez, eta horrela jatorriz sentimenezko baldintza guztietatik beregain, eta berez, fenomenoetara mugatuta egon gabe (horren erabilera teoretiko zehatz bat egin nahi ez bada behintzat) gauzetan aplika daiteke adimen-zerizan huts gisa.
