DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness\, whic
h consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a refle
xive relation to the subject who has that state\, so that the subject can
typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s\, Fich
te’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity sho
ws that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation between form
(or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is conceived. The first
part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness: reflexivity is under
stood not in terms of a self-referential content resulting from a reflecti
on on the state of the subject\, but as the universal transcendental form
that any content must have in order to be representationally significant a
nd potentially conscious to the subject. The second part examines Fichte’s
departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in th
e original act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned i
nto a self-referential content that determines the subject as an object fr
om the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analy
tic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the sub
jective character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. The
se theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of cont
ent that\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s co
ntextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be unde
rstood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspectivism that navigates
between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectiv
ity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Information\n\n\n\nRegistration is free b
