Review

'The book is to be recommended primarily to philosophers ... for its having ... shown the importance of ... Kant's ... unity of consciousness. It is also to be recommended to cognitive psychologists for presenting a Kant who is to be less lightly treated than he usually is in psychology.' Journal of the History of Behavioural Sciences

' ... novel ideas on important topics, forcefully presented so they cannot be disregarded.' Mind

Book Description

Kant made a number of highly original discoveries about the mind and despite intense activity in research on human cognition, his discoveries have not been superseded. The first four chapters of this book present a comprehensive overview of Kant's model for nonspecialists, an overview largely unencumbered by detailed exegesis. The work then offers a close study of five major discussions of the mind in the Critique of Pure Reason and Anthropology.
