More about the book
The book delves into the concept of the "pure self" and its implications for understanding the human mind. It critically examines Kant's notion of "pure apperception," arguing that it cannot be separated from the natural aspects of human existence. The author contends that the qualities attributed to the "pure self" must be grounded in the reality of human needs and drives, challenging the idealistic perspective that places the human mind above nature. This exploration seeks to bridge the gap between idealism and a more naturalistic view of human consciousness.
