      Kant claims that transcendental idealism yields a form of realism at the empirical level. Paul Abela challenges the negative reception which this theory provoked, offering a presentation and rehabilitation of Kant's empirical realism that places his realist credentials at the centre of the account of representation offered in "The Critique of Pure Reason" Abela's interpretation ranges over the major themes contained in "The Analytic of Principles" and relevant portions of "The Dialectic". Kant's analysis of the conditions necessary for determinate representation is shown to involve a realist understanding of the relation of mind and world. The realist character of his account of empirical truth, and his commitment to the unity of nature, are defended against competing empiricist, pragmatist, and methodological readings.
