Perception of the Thing-in-Itself According to Kant
Question
Can the Rabbi explain to me why we should assume that we cannot grasp the essence of the object itself?
Is this a kind of ordinary skepticism?
Especially if we’re talking about something tangible that can be analyzed physically.
Thanks in advance
Answer
