| Abstract: | Over the last thirty years, Kant’s work on perception has been successively read as endorsing conceptualist representationalism, non-conceptualist representationalism and naïve realism. I argue that, for all the ground covered, these readings are either partial or mistaken. In the first half of the paper, I review some of the key textual issues, in particular the first Critique’s stance on veridicality conditions and the Anthropology’s account of imagination. In the second half, I argue that this evidence supports a new account of Kant’s relationship to contemporary disjunctivism, one closely tied to his broader theory of mind. |
