This, however, is not a precept to do something by which some desired effect can be attained (for then the will would depend on physical conditions), but a rule that determines the will a priori only so far as regards the forms of its maxims; and thus it is at least not impossible to conceive that a law, which only applies to the subjective form of principles, yet serves as a principle of determination by means of the objective form of law in general.
Ez da, hala ere, irrikatzen den eragin bat ahalbidetzen duen ekintza gertarazten duen arau bat (izan ere, hor erregela betiere fisikoki baldintzatuta legoke), baizik eta nahimena a priori determinatzen duen erregela besterik ez bere maximen formari jarraiki, eta orduan ez da ezinezkoa, gutxienez, oinarrizko esakuneen forma subjektiboaren mesedetarako baino balio ez duen legea pentsatzea determinazio-oinarri gisa oro harrezko lege baten forma objektiboaren bidez.
