Larry Kaye

Using ideas from contemporary cognitive psychology, I am developing a reading of Kant’s Transcendental Deduction of the Categories. I am also applying Kant’s views of the unity of conscious to contemporary investigations into consciousness. And I am working on an account of a (roughly Lockean) theory of indirect perception, renovated for current cognitive science. I direct departmental advising.
