« La question fondamentale se pose : est-il possible de parvenir à la connaissance de soi ? […] Sur un tel sentier, on cherche volontiers des compagnons de route or le chemin est toujours solitaire. On voudrait trouver un maître pour guider le pas et rassurer lors des situations périlleuses mais les maîtres sont rares et peu disponibles. Le plus souvent, il convient d'accepter d'entreprendre et de poursuivre sa quête dans un isolement plus ou moins rigoureux en sachant que le meilleur se trouve dans son propre cœur. Dans la mesure où s'achève la poussée des ailes, l'oiseau quitte son nid et prend lui-même sa nourriture. »

This work - the first full-length account of its theme in English - identifies Kant’s doctrine of inner sense as a central, and problematic, element within the ‘architectonic of pure reason’ of the first Critique. Its exegesis exposes two, variant construals of the character and capacities of inner sense: the first, ‘positive’ construal functions in Kant’s account of the nature of knowledge in the Transcendental Analytic, while the second, ‘negative’ construal functions in Kant’s account of the limits of knowledge in the Transcendental Dialectic. Green shows how this variance underlies, and destabilizes, the basic intention of Kant’s theoretical philosophy, to give an account of both the nature, and the limits, of cognition. The work complements detailed analysis with an exhaustive review of English, French, and German scholarship on the doctrine. An Appendix on Kant’s recently discovered ‘Vom inneren Sinne’ fragment evinces Kant’s continued concern with this doctrine, and a Conclusion intimates the importance of Fichte’s and Schelling’s identification of the ‘aporia of inner sense’ to the subsequent development of transcendental idealism.
