Conclusion

After Kant, leading philosophers largely turned away from psychology and psychologism. The conclusion examines critiques of Kant’s psychologism drawn from leading representatives of the two alternative approaches to representational understanding focused on throughout the book, platonism and conventionalism: Hegel, analytic philosophy as exemplified by Peter Strawson’s connectionism, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein. There follows a discussion of Kant’s legacy for the mind sciences.
