Was reading about Schopenhauer and how he was critical about Kant’s view of Transcendental Idealism. Every explanation I find online is rather confusing and explained in this way: “Man can only perceive appearances, which are dependent on the mind, and cannot access the mind-independent world of things in themselves.” What does this mean?
In: Other
There is the way we experience things, and the way things are in themselves, separate from how we experience them. You cannot know what things are like separate from how you experience them.
But, we can know that whatever you experience will be in space and time, and casually connected to other things. This is because space time, and causation are necessary features of our experience.
