This is based on a problematic preconception of the transcendental idealist thesis and of the purpose it is supposed to serve. Transcendental idealism is then not differentiated from Berkeleyan idealism, and it is taken as a strategy to defuse the bridging problem that arises from the distinction between mind and world. My analysis suggests that a scopal misreading is involved in the nondifferentiation, and it leads to a reductionist reading of the thesis that fuels scepticism. Another closely related issue is how one should situate transcendental idealism in the argumentative context. I consider a broader conception of transcendental idealism, which is not constrained to a few passages extracted from Kant?s writings and better represents the historical reception and development of Kant?s critical idealism. In this conception, the aim of transcendental idealism is not to prove the reality of the external world, but to establish the agential nature of reason via a concept of self-awareness that at the same time serves as the condition for the possibility of first-personal access to the content of experience.

I examine how this question is answered if various views of the moral status of fetuses are true. I argue that on some of these views, the choice whether to abort does indeed raise the non-identity problem. It follows that abortion is sometimes morally required, and that, surprisingly, sometimes one is morally required to kill a being *for its own sake*, even though killing it would be worse for it than allowing it to continue to live.
