In the first case the effect is made to happen, independently of will; it pertains to the context of natural causality. In the second case the effect occurs if and only if the cause wants it to happen; it pertains to the context of causality from freedom. In this context the laws by which one lets oneself be determined to act are self-chosen so that one acts sua sponte. There are two versions of this kind of spontaneity: either one lets oneself be determined to act by a moral law or by something else. Acts which are cases of causality from positive freedom are derived from a moral law. Every other act could be called a causal act from natural causality, if this weren't highly misleading. For if every act is a result of freedom, so is an act which is performed because we let ourselves be determined by sensory stimuli. Therefore, classifying this kind of act as an act from natural causality would be as misleading as the case appears to be clear: Causality from freedom does not occur because what one does is derived from~~ practical law, but because one lets oneself be determined to act.
