Nor is my freedom infringed upon by the fact that I must go on to assume that there are additional free and rational beings outside of me, for their freedom and rationality is, as such, by no means the object of a perception, which would limit me, but is a purely spiritual concept Furthermore, my freedom is not infringed upon by the fact that, in accordance with the concept that was subsequently presented, I have to choose among several possible actions; for such a choice is a condition for my consciousness of my own freedom and hence a condition for this freedom itself; and the content of what is chosen is always in my power, since all possible ways of acting freely are under my sway.
