Matter and Form
Question
When explaining the principle of matter and form (which you parallel to phenomenon and noumenon), you often use the example of color and wavelength—but in your view, don’t the physical properties themselves also belong to form / phenomenon?
Answer
Do you mean a property like wavelength? That’s a matter of definition. Obviously, any manifestation of that property belongs to the phenomenon. But there is something underlying those descriptions, and that is in the noumenon.
