摘要
In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant presents the sketch of a theory of practical freedom which is "grounded on" the idea of transcendental freedom (CPR, B 561) and which, surprisingly, " can be proved through experience" (CPR, B 830). This is especially noteworthy because transcendental freedom " seems to be contrary to [...] all possible experience" (CPR, B 831). This paper dissolves the so-called canon problem, according to which Kant's theory of practical freedom in the CPR is inconsistent. It is argued that the concept of " experience" refers to a subject's ability to become aware of the process of autonomous self-necessitation and thereby constitute herself as an agent. The action, in this case, represents the appearance of intelligible causality and a potential object of experience.
