IMMANUEL KANT: Die Quellen der Apperzeption.

It has become evident that Kant´s philosophy of mind and the Post-Kantian debates on this topic cannot be seen as separate from earlier Eighteenth Century thought, and that both have to be related to the latter as constituting their proper historical and systematic context. It is in this sense a fundamental aim of the project to develop a broad, but at the same time detailed, investigation on the sources of the Kantian notion of the "transcendental apperception". All possible similarities between Kant and his predecessors shall be investigated here, both in a strictly historical/philological perspective (concerning Kant's lectures and his personal direct information on this topic) and in a more systematic sense (considering more fundamental philosophical analogies with past theories of the apperception).
