6. Where Kant Has and Has Not Influenced Contemporary Cognitive Research
We will close by returning to the question of Kant's relationship to contemporary cognitive research. As we saw, some of Kant's most characteristic doctrines about the mind are now built into the very foundations of cognitive science. We laid out what they were (indirecte ervaring, intuitie, verbeelding, ik, enz.). Interestingly, some of the others have played little or no role (Ruimte, Tijd, Causalitait, enz.).
Consider the two forms of Synthesis of Recognition in a Concept (Ruimte, Tijd). In the form of binding, the phenomenon that he had in mind in the first kind of synthesis is now widely studied. Indeed, one model, Anne Treisman's (1980) three-stage model, is very similar to all three stages of synthesis in Kant. According to Treisman and her colleagues, object recognition proceeds in three stages: first feature detection, then location of features on a map of locations, and then integration and identification of objects under concepts. This compares directly to Kant's three-stage model of apprehension of features, association of features (reproduction), and recognition of integrated groups of under concepts (A98-A106). However, Kant's second kind of recognition under concepts (Eenheid, Veelheid, Alheid, Kwaliteit, Kwantiteit, enz.), the activity of tying multiple representations together into a global representation (A107-14), has received little attention.
The same was true until recently of the unity of consciousness and Kant's work on it. However, this is changing. In the past twenty years, the unity of consciousness has come back onto the research agenda and there are now hundreds of papers and a number of books on the topic. However, claims such as Kant's that a certain form of synthesis and certain links among the contents of experience are required for unity continue to be ignored in cognitive science, though a few philosophers have done some work on them (Brook 2004). The same is true of Kant's views on consciousness of self; cognitive science has paid no attention to non-ascriptive identification of self and the idea of the essential indexical. Here, too, a few philosophers have worked on these issues, apparently without knowing of Kant's contribution (Brook & DeVidi, 2001), but not cognitive scientists.
In short, the dominant model of the mind in contemporary cognitive science is Kantian, but some of his most distinctive contributions have not been taken into it (Brook, 2004).

Het onderzoek gaat door en misschien heeft Der Alte toch nog wel meer gelijk dan we nu zo geneigd zijn te denken.
Vooral op het gebied van ethiek en estethiek moet er toch meer in de mind zijn dan alleen maar analyse en synthese.
Terug naar Kant !
