Clear as always. But I have a question regardin Kant's critique of Descartes' rational intuition (and basically everybody afertwards seem to follow Kant in their own critiques).
True, Descartes exploits heavily the mind-body distinction in the early meditations (and that justifies Kant's critique). But Descartes' more careful statement is that "the self is a per se unity of mind-body." And, when he's even more careful, he says the self is "a complete substantial unity, an ordered system, a totality of things bestowed on [him] by God" AT 6: 85-86... and this seeems to weaken most critiques to the Cartesian self, including Kant's.
I'd love to hear you're take on that.

The "g" in "cogito" is pronounced like the "g" in "gear". Isn't it? Sorry for nitpicking.
