About the Book

In this seminal contribution to Kant studies, originally published in 1982, Karl Ameriks presented the first thorough survey and evaluation of Kant's theory of mind. Ameriks focuses first on Kant's discussion of the Paralogisms in the Critique of Pure Reason, and examines how the themes raised there are treated in the rest of Kant's writings. It is demonstrated that Kant developed a theory of mind that is much more rationalistic and defensible than most interpreters have allowed, a theory that is of great significance for the understanding of his philosophy as a whole. Kant's Theory of Mind is now brought up to date with a substantial preface and postscript, as well as many additional references to the literature. This expanded edition will enhance the book's continued value for today's Kantians and philosophers of mind.

Review :
`Ameriks zeros in on only one of the chapters of the Transcendental and Dialetic, entitled 'The paralogisms of Pure Reason', ... His is the first book in English to be devoted soley to this chapter and to the difficult problems it raises.' William Lad Sessions, Cross Currents, Summer 1983. `This first booklength treatment of the Paralogisms chapter in English is a useful contribution to Kant scholarship ... I found the account of why freedome of the will (independence) is not discussed under the rubric of 'Rational psychology' particularly helpful.' Patricia Kitcher, The Philosopical Review, XCII, No.2, April 1983. `excellent ... introduction ... in its detailed and balanced examination of Kant lies the value of this work.' Robert Moloney, Heythrop Journal. `Amerik's ... scholarship is quite impressive - he seems to have read everything in English and German that bears on his themes; and through a sensible balance of direct discussion in the text and relegation to footnotes and bibliography, he makes all of this material accessible to his readers.' Gordon Nagel, Canadian Jnl of Philosphy, Vol.15, No.4, Dec. 1985. `I often use this book as a first tool of research to find out who has written what and where it can be found. For any work involving Kant's views on human nature and the critical response those views have generated. Kant's Theory of Mind is an excellent sourcebook ... Despite the wealth of material it contains, the book is orderly and easy to find things in.' Gordon Nagel, Canadian Jnl of Philosphy, Vol.15, No.4, Dec. 1985. `The strength of Ameriks's work lies in its scholarship and its item-by-item treatments.' Gordon Nagel, Canadian Jnl of Philosphy, Vol.15, No.4, Dec. 1985. `By drawing as widely as he does on Kant's writings, and by combining all he finds, Ameriks probably provides as good an account as can be given of what Kant believes about the mind - and this is a considerable accomplishment.' Gordon Nagel, Canadian Jnl of Philosphy, Vol.15, No.4, Dec. 1985. `were I to work on Kant's arguments for immortality, I would start with Ameriks. He may not provide the last word on all of his topics, but he provides a very solid first and middle.' Gordon Nagel, Canadian Jnl of Philosphy, Vol.15, No.4. Dec. 1985. `stimulating study ... Much current scholarship dealing with the philosophy of mind in general as well as with Kant is drawn on to aid the explication and evaluation of Kant's position, and the result will interest students in both areas.' Choice, Dec. 82. `stimulating study ... Much current scholarship dealing with the philosophy of mind in general as well as with Kant is drawn on to aid the explication and evaluation of Kant's position, and the result will interest students in both areas.' Choice, Dec. 82.
