The self for Kant is something real, and yet is neither appearance
nor thing in itself, but rather has some third status. Appearances
for Kant arise in space and time where these are respectively forms
of outer and inner attending (intuition). Melnick explains the
"third status" by identifying the self with intellectual action
that does not arise in the progression of attending (and so is not
appearance), but accompanies and unifies inner attending. As so
accompanying, it progresses with that attending and is therefore
temporal--not a thing in itself. According to Melnick, the
distinction between the self or the subject and its thoughts is a
distinction wholly within intellectual action; only such a
non-entitative view of the self is consistent with Kant's
transcendental idealism. As Melnick demonstrates in this volume,
this conception of the self clarifies all of Kant's main
discussions of this issue in the Transcendental Deduction and the
Paralogisms of Pure Reason.
