Abstract

Kant's philosophy is deeply systematic. Understanding his account of human consciousness requires considering some of his broader systematic analyses, to the extent required here to understand his account of consciousness, which is of great philosophical and historical interest. "Anti-Cartesianism" and "externalism" are key issues in recent philosophy of mind.
