From Descartes to Hume, philosophers in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries developed a dialectic of radically conflicting
claims about the nature of the self. In the Paralogisms of The
Critique of Pure Reason, Kant comes to terms with this dialectic,
and with the character of the experiencing self. Powell seeks to
elucidate these difficult texts, in part by applying to the
Paralogisms insights drawn from Kant's Transcendental Deduction.
His reading shows that the structure of the Paralogisms provides an
essential key to understanding both Kant's critique of `rational
psychology' and his theory of self-consciousness. As Kant realized,
the ways in which we must represent ourselves to ourselves have
import not only for epistemology, but for our view of persons and
of our own immortality, and for moral philosophy as well. Kant's
theory of self-consciousness is also shown to have implications for
contemporary discussions of the problem of other minds,
functionalism, and the problem of indexical self-reference.
