Key Notes
The things to us, or things as they seem to us after reality is filtered into understandable form.
Things as they appear to us after the noumenal is filtered through time, space, and perception.
Reality as it appears after the noumenon is filtered through time and space.
Jiang invokes Kant to distinguish noumena, the things in themselves, from phenomena, reality as filtered through time and space for us.
Jiang divides reality into objective reality, the things in themselves or noumena, and phenomena, the things as they appear or are understood by us.
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.
He presents Kant as teaching that humans never know the noumenon directly because time and space are filters through which reality becomes phenomena.
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.
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.
