Note 63 — Chapter II · The Antinomy of Pure Reason (continued 2)
J. M. D. (John Miller Dow) Meiklejohn translation
The real morality of actions—their merit or demerit, and even that of our own conduct, is completely unknown to us. Our estimates can relate only to their empirical character. How much is the result of the action of free will, how much is to be ascribed to nature and to blameless error, or to a happy constitution of temperament (merito fortunae), no one can discover, nor, for this reason, determine with perfect justice.
