For since it is pure reason that is here considered in its practical use, and hence considered as commencing from a priori principles and not from empirical determining bases, the division of the Analytic of Pure Practical Reason will have to turn out similar to that of a syllogism: viz., proceeding from the universal in the major premise (the moral principle), by a subsumption undertaken in the minor premise of possible actions (as good or evil ones) under the major premise, to the conclusion, viz., the subjective determination of the will (an interest in the practically possible good and the maxim based on this interest).
