Beatrice Longuenesse presents an original exploration of our understanding of ourselves
and the way we talk about ourselves. In the first part of the book she discusses contemporary
analyses of our use of 'I' in language and thought, and compares them to Kant's account
of self-consciousness, especially the type of self-consciousness expressed in the
proposition 'I think.' According to many contemporary philosophers, necessarily, any
instance of our use of 'I' is backed by our consciousness of our own body. For Kant,
in contrast, 'I think' just expresses our consciousness of being engaged in bringing
rational unity into the contents of our mental states. In the second part of the book,
Longuenesse analyzes the details of Kant's view and argues that contemporary discussions
in philosophy and psychology stand to benefit from Kant's insights into self-consciousness
and the unity of consciousness. The third and final part of the book outlines similarities
between Kant's view of the structure of mental life grounding our uses of 'I' in 'I
think' and in the moral 'I ought to', on the one hand: and Freud's analysis of the
organizations of mental processes he calls 'ego' and 'superego' on the other hand.
Longuenesse argues that Freudian metapsychology offers a path to a naturalization
of Kant's transcendental view of the mind. It offers a developmental account of the
normative capacities that ground our uses of 'I', which Kant thought could not be
accounted for without appealing to a world of pure intelligences, distinct from the
empirical, natural world of physical entities
