ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book explains about the theoretical aspects of Immanuel Kant’s philosophy that are connected to the representation ‘I’. It shows that Kant’s approach to self-consciousness seems to succeed in explaining the features as it does consider the features of the concept I in the terms of transcendentalism in some way. The book seeks to dismiss the possibility that intuition has an autonomous function of de re knowledge in support of an interpretative reading that could be labelled “weak conceptualism”. It focuses on how Kant treats indexicality. Furthermore, non-conceptual content theorists have taken Kant as a reference point due to his notion of intuition, and some Kantian scholars in the debate regard sensible intuition as an indexical representation. It is necessary to explore a number of complementary issues intertwined with the notion of non-conceptual content in order to understand Kant’s treatment of indexicality.
