Cognition Content and the a Priori

In <em>Cognition Content and the A Priori</em> Robert Hanna works out a unified contemporary Kantian theory of rational human cognition and knowledge. Along the way he provides accounts of (i) intentionality and its contents including non-conceptual content and conceptual content (ii) sense<br>perception and perceptual knowledge including perceptual self-knowledge (iii) the analytic-synthetic distinction (iv) the nature of logic and (v) a priori truth and knowledge in mathematics logic and philosophy. This book is specifically intended to reach out to two very different audiences: <br>contemporary analytic philosophers of mind and knowledge on the one hand and contemporary Kantian philosophers or Kant-scholars on the other. At the same time it is also riding the crest of a wave of exciting and even revolutionary emerging new trends and new work in the philosophy of mind and<br>epistemology with a special concentration on the philosophy of perception. What is revolutionary in this new wave are its strong emphases on action on cognitive phenomenology on disjunctivist direct realism on embodiment and on sense perception as a primitive and proto-rational capacity for<br>cognizing the world. <em>Cognition Content and the A Priori</em> makes a fundamental contribution to this philosophical revolution by giving it a specifically contemporary Kantian twist and by pushing these new lines of investigation radically further.
