2026-01-21 lecture definition of Kantian terms

definition

Jiang divides reality into objective reality, the things in themselves or noumena, and phenomena, the things as they appear or are understood by us.

Interpretive model stated on 2026-01-07.

model

Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena is used to describe reality itself as things-in-themselves and perception as the translation of that reality into things as they appear to us.

Philosophical model used in this lecture.

model

He presents Kant as teaching that humans never know the noumenon directly because time and space are filters through which reality becomes phenomena.

Lecture interpretation on 2025-09-11.

model

Using Kant, Jiang argues that controlling experience and memory can control perceived reality, because people only know phenomena and cannot directly know the thing-in-itself.

Philosophical model introduced in the 2025-08-29 lecture.

definition

Kant's model is summarized as active filtering: humans cannot know the noumenal thing-in-itself, only the phenomenal world produced by mental filters such as space and time.
