In this work, we analyze two arguments presented by Kant in the Leningrad Reflexion, the first one based on the notion of ‘auto-affection’, and the second one based on the relationship between succession and simultaneity. We try to show that this text complements the proof of the “Refutation of Idealism” of the KrV (B) in two ways: 1) it establishes that inner experience is dependent of outer experience not only with regard to its form (succession/ permanence),  but also with regard to its content, and  2) it establishes that we are empirically conscious of ourselves not only insofar as we are conscious of the external world, but also insofar as we consider ourselves (and our body) as a part of it.
