    Freedom

    Kant discusses different notions of freedom in his work. He distinguishes between transcendental freedom of will and practical freedom. Transcendental freedom refers to freedom from natural laws, while practical freedom means acting according to rational principles rather than desires. Kant was a retributivist who believed people deserve punishment for their wrongdoing because they had the free will to commit crimes and accept penalties. He also discusses freedom of thought and how humans must be allowed to make rational decisions to treat each other as ends in a "Kingdom of Ends."
