Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation

On the Different Senses of ‘Freedom’ as Applied to Will and to the Moral Progress of Man

Note of the Editor,

The lectures from which the following extract is taken were delivered in the beginning of 1879, in continuation of the course in which the discussion of Kant’s moral theory occurred. The portions here printed are those which were not embodied, at any rate in the same form, in the Prolegomena to Ethics. See Prolegomena to Ethics, Book ii. ch. i. sec. 100, Editor’s note.
