Summary:

Lucy Allais presents a new account of Kant's transcendental idealism. She argues that Kant is committed to a genuine idealism about things as they appear to us, but that this is not a phenomenalist idealism. Instead, Kant's idealism depends instead on his notion of intuition and its role in cognition.
