 According to this “fact of reason” version, we seem to have a particular moral law forced on us in our mental lives and we are unable to give any deeper justification of this moral law—it is just a fact that we have to accept. It is a fact that I am bound by the moral law. However, I could not be bound by the moral law unless I could follow it and I cannot follow this moral law unless I am free. Kant thus argues that we can conclude for practical purposes that we are free.
