Of all the cosmological ideas, however, it is that occasioning the fourth antinomy which compels us to venture upon this step.
That this antinomy is based upon a mere illusion, and that nature and freedom are at least not opposed--this was the only thing in our power to prove, and the question which it was our task to solve.
The full discussion of this subject will be found in its proper place in the chapter on the antinomy of pure reason.
The antinomy of pure reason is based upon the following dialectical argument: "If that which is conditioned is given, the whole series of its conditions is also given; but sensuous objects are given as conditioned; consequently.
This antinomy of reason may, however, be really profitable to our speculative interests, not in the way of contributing any dogmatical addition, but as presenting to us another material support in our critical investigations.
