Abstract

Negatively, free will indicates a non-dependent state, and positively it is a state of autonomous selection and links up with human moral obligations.Kant assumes the existence of free will, but he fails to put such an abstract "postulation" of the subject's freedom into effect in man.Crucially, he fails to truly internalize the moral will and unite it with life's intelligent driving force.As to Wang Yangming, moral reason is identical with human inherent moral sentiments.Both the intelligent self-decision and the impetus of egoist will make conflicts between human body and mind and between knowing and doing coordinated and integrated.

Key words： free will; Kant; Wang Yang-ming; union of knowing and doing
