Kant and the scientific study of consciousness.

History of the Human Sciences January 1, 2010 Thomas Sturm, Falk Wunderlich

Kant's views on consciousness, the mind-body problem, and psychology as a science differ fundamentally from current debates about a science of consciousness. He did not use consciousness to mean phenomenal qualia, addressed the mind-body problem in terms of substances rather than mental properties, and saw the key to a scientific psychology as quantification, not mechanistic explanation. This illustrates how philosophical problems and concepts can shift dramatically despite surface similarities.
