The unknowability of things in themselves

Ralf Meerbote

pp. 415-423

The notions of things in themselves and of the unknowability of things in themselves have proved a persistent problem for commentators of Kant's. Little agreement about either the meaning or the truth of Kant's claims concerning these matters has ever been reached. Whatever disagreements there are can be explained in part by the fact that more than one of Kant's philosophical motives come into play in his repeated discussions of these problems.
