This paper addresses the **psychiatry of the duality of the self**, investigating the distinctions between the"sensible self" and the "cognitive self," based on a critical analysis of the conceptions of Kant, Vygotsky,and Spinoza. The article explores the Kantian view of the unity of the self in perception and understanding,contrasting it with a phenomenological and psychopathological perspective that proposes the differentiation ofthese functions. Kant's autonomy of the self and its relation to morality are discussed, in opposition to anaturalist view of the moral sense. It is argued that the mental functions of reception and conceptualizationare distinct, yet organically connected, with implications for the treatment of paraphilias, addictions, andinstincts. The text also explores the influence of universal principles on the formation of the mind and thesocial and objective nature of concepts
