 The similarities between the theoretical and the practical realms allow for an explanation of the possibility of freedom, even though “this concept [of freedom] is capable of no empirical presentation.” (GW VII 241 | KU 241) Thought, Maimon argues, is an absolutely free activity of the faculty of cognition, which is not determined a priori by natural laws, but rather according to the laws of the faculty of cognition itself. The will that is related to the faculty of cognition (the will to think) is likewise not determined through objects of thought, but rather through the a priori form of thought, which precedes the actual thought of these objects (on this point, see Ware (2019)). We thus have an instance of a free will in general (GW VII 242 | KU 240).
