Description

Apperception and Self-Consciousness in Kant and German Idealism explores the fundamental themes of reflexivity, self-consciousness, representation, and apperception in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and German Idealism more broadly.

Dennis Schulting examines how these ideas are interconnected, arguing that all human experience is inherently self-referential. This self-reflexivity of thought is rooted in transcendental apperception, a key insight from Christian Wolff's work that informs the broader tradition of German Idealism.

The book provides a rigorous analysis of Kant's thought and its historical development through to his immediate successors, including Karl Leonhard Reinhold, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. It offers a clear and coherent understanding of the cognitive role of self-consciousness within idealism and its place in the history of rationalist philosophy.
