Kant's resolution of this antinomy is the same as the general resolution of the rest, namely that reason cannot prove either the one or the other proposition because we cannot have a priori any determining principle of the possibility of things according to merely empirical laws of nature; further, that therefore the two propositions must be regarded not as objective propositions but as subjective maxims; that I ought to reflect on the events of nature every time according to the principle of the mechanism of nature alone, but that this does not prevent, when occasion permits, following up certain natural forms in accordance with another maxim, namely in accordance with the principal of final causes as if now these two maxims, which moreover are supposed to be necessary only for human reason, did not stand in the same opposition as the two propositions in antinomy.
