Could also

[svetlana14]

Hello,

In Kant’s View of the Mind and Consciousness of Self there is a para "His pursuit of the second aim, and specifically his critique of some arguments of his predecessors that entailed that we can know more about the mind's consciousness of itself than Kant could also, led him to some extraordinarily penetrating ideas about our consciousness of ourselves."

I failed to understand what does "could also" mean in that context. Thank you for your explanation.

Re: Coud also

Your link doesn't open, so I don't know what book this came from. Knowing when the quote was written would help.

But as I read it, it means could.

Re: Coud also

Thank you. The name of the article is Kant’s View of the Mind and Consciousness of Self (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-mind/). I am a little bit confused, to be frank, about the adverb "also". How does it qualify the meaning of the phrase? What is the author's idea behind that? Can you enlarge a little bit on that. Thank you.
