Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Freedom Immanuel Kant has demonstrated in the Critique of Pure Reason that the idea of freedom and the law of nature taking part together in the same human action is one that does not involve any necessary contradiction. This was truly an epoch-making achievement, and had that great man left nothing else behind him for the instruction and inspiration of posterity than his exposition of the intelligible and empirical characters, he would still be remembered through the ages as the one of the mighty thinkers of the earth. No one can study that part of the Critique with an honest desire to appreciate its significance without being a convinced that mechanism, as the undisputed overlord of the realms of faith and knowledge, has finally been driven from the stronghold where so many had imagined it to be irrevocably and impregnably entrenched.
