Kant's Critique on Idealism and Its Relation with unity of consciousness Discussion

The central aim this paper is investigating the most important proof that kant has proposed against the Cartesian skeptic. According to his proposed proof,we not only have immediate outer experience of outer things but also even inner experience,which for Dascartes is indubtaible, is possible only on the assumption of outer experience. This proof is based on the assumption that we have two kinds of knowledge of the self,mere consciousness of one's existence and its genuine determination which depends on its relation with something,while bound up with my existence, is outside me. Effort has been made in this paper to show that despite the emphasis of commentators on the claim that his discussion on refutation of Idealism is the same discussion of unity of consciousness which is introduced in transcendental deduction, his aim and components his discussion on refutation of Idealism is distinct from the discussion transcendental deduction in some aspects. This distinction rests on a contrast between two notions of "unity ofconsciousness''and "personal Identity."
