FAQ About Immanuel Kant
What is meant by Kant's 'Transcendental Idealism'?
'Transcendental Idealism' is Kant's theory that humans can only know objects as they appear to us, not as they exist independently. According to Kant, our experiences of the world are mediated through the mental frameworks that structure our perceptions. This means that the reality of objects themselves (the noumenal realm) is inaccessible to us, and we are limited to experiencing the phenomenal world that our minds shape.
