- premise | morals bear only on a free will ? then having a free will, one is bound in all one’s effects, even unwilled effects? | no, morals bear only on a will (and only a free will) and therewith its effects - they do not bear on unwilled effects ? what of unfreely willed ends? • ends (as means) determined in part freely (as means to a freely determined end) and unfreely (e.g. by prudence, or in responses to external causes) • ends determined wholly by external causes, thus wholly unfreely - by desire - by duress | morals bear only on a will (and only a free will), not on ends as such + morals bear only *on a subject* with a free will | without free will, there are no morals \ | morals bear only on (a subject with) a free will \\ !! too much baggage, not a minimal premise \ | will is the power of mind to freely intend (practically) \\ !! too contentious - this premise suffices to determine morals
