Thing-in-itself
In philosophy, the status of objects as they are, independent of observation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Kantian philosophy, the thing-in-itself (German: Ding an sich) is the status of objects as they are, independent of representation and observation. The concept of the thing-in-itself was introduced by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, and over the following centuries was met with controversy among later philosophers.[1] It is closely related to Kant's concept of noumena or the objects of inquiry, as opposed to phenomena, its manifestations.
