Abstract: At the beginning of Chapter 1, it was suggested that Kant made discoveries about four things to do with the mind: the role of synthesis, the unity of experience and consciousness, the special form of self-awareness I call apperceptive self-awareness (ASA), and the mind's status as a special kind of representation. Before we turn to the texts that lay out these ideas, it might be a good idea to construct an overview of Kant's model, one unencumbered by filigree of close exegesis. That is the task of this and the next two chapters; we will also attempt to display the relevance of some of Kant's ideas to contemporary research. This chapter takes up Kant's theory of synthesis and unity, Chapters 3 and 4 his views on awareness and self-awareness.
