freedom and the transcendental way

freedom and "unconditional practical law" (ultimately, the moral law of treating persons as ends and never simply as means) reciprocally imply each other. Someone is free if and only if he or she acts, not on the basis of nature's determinations or knowledge of them, but on the basis of that ideal. Schiller refers to this as the transcendental way.

"transcendentalism" can only occur after modernism.
