From Puzzles to Principles?: Essays on Aristotle's DialecticLexington Books. 1999.Scholars of classical philosophy have long disputed whether Aristotle was a dialectical thinker.

In this part of his work Kant attacks the idea that there is an ultimate subject of experience — the ‘I’ or Self — which can only be investigated and understood intellectually.
