Introduction Part I: Critique of Freedom (divergence)
Chapter 2: Critique of Freedom (conatus essendi) Part II: Reason and Universality (convergence) Conclusion |
"In a practical law reason determines the will immediately......; and that it can as pure
reason be practical is what alone makes it possible for it to be lawgiving."
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Practical Reason, 5:25
“The possibility of finding, anachronously, the order in the obedience itself, and of
receiving the order out of oneself, this reverting of heteronomy into autonomy, is the
very way the Infinite passes itself. The metaphor of the inscription of the law in
consciousness expresses this in a remarkable way, reconciling autonomy and
heteronomy”
Emmanuel Levinas, Otherwise Than Being Or Beyond Essence, 148
