Kant's Transcendental Deduction of the Categories: Unity,
Representation, and Apperception is a distinctively new reading of
the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories in the Critique of
Pure Reason. Lawrence J. Kaye has discovered a number of previously
overlooked arguments and explanations, one of the most significant
being an argument that demonstrates that the use of concepts
requires the necessary unity of consciousness. He also provides a
detailed investigation of Kant's account of representation in the
first edition of the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories and
shows how it can be understood as a unique type of functional role
view. This view of representation leads to a new understanding of
Kant's blend of realism and idealism. Kant's notion of
transcendental apperception (a priori self-awareness) is also
carefully explained. Kaye shows that there is an extremely tight
inter-relation between the unity of consciousness, representation,
and apperception that constitutes a well-supported framework, one
that offers a surprisingly strong set of replies to Hume's
skeptical challenges. He applies this framework to produce a
coherent and detailed explanation of the Transcendental Deduction
of the Categories, offering a thorough, paragraph-by-paragraph
examination of the text in both editions. This work should not only
be of interest to Kant scholars, but also to any philosophers and
cognitive scientists who are invested in any of the following
topics: the unity and structure of consciousness, concepts, mental
representation, self-awareness, and realism and idealism.
