But, in this danger, one circumstance nonetheless also gives us hope for an outcome still favorable to affirmi freedom, namely that the same difficulty weighs much more heavily (indeed, as we shall soon see, weighs only) upon the system in which the existence determinable in time and space is considered to be the existence of things in themselves; that the difficulty therefore does not compel us to give up our foremost presupposition of the ideality of time as a mere form of sensible intuition and thus as merely a way of presenting which is peculiar to the subject as belonging to the world of sense; and that the difficulty therefore requires only that we reconcile this presupposition with the idea of freedom.
