You didnt read what i said earlier, on the field of ethics (that has
freedom at its basis) "All the empirical stuff have become nothing
more than mere data so to say, or at least theories."

As I said: the main element in the distinction of the sensible and the
ethical world is freedom. Freedom is the basis of ethics. Freedom is
the "ratio essendi" of the ethical law, the ethical law is the "ratio
cognoscendi" of freedom.
