However Kant believes only the "idea of freedom" is required. I think Kant's position may involve a vicious regress, however.... — Pantagruel
Maybe not required, but sufficient? — Mww
Yes, I wasn't being precise, that's correct. But if the whole point is, even if it is just the "idea of freedom", even if that is just an illusion, is it a "free illusion"? i.e. there is still a freedom there. — Pantagruel
And yet there is error. — Pantagruel
Error is how we learn. It is unavoidable and productive. But I can't see how a systemic illusion about the whole shebang would be necessary or useful. — Olivier5
But if there is no freedom then learning would also be an illusion. — Pantagruel
