If you think there is something underneath or behind appearances, if there is a something that makes Object A what it is and not something else, if this something exists independent of the human subject, then you are a realist. We come across an object, and we ask, “what is this thing?” Object A might appear to be one way, but appearances can be deceiving and there might be something underneath, or behind, its appearance. Realism and idealism are the two most common responses to the question of appearance versus reality, the question of phenomena and noumena.

However, we can do a little bit of recap, can’t we folks? If you have not been following the discussion thus far, and I know a number of you gremlins joined the family after reading my most recent response to Curtis Yarvin, I would recommend reading the pieces on Heidegger and the New Materialism. Although we here at Scattered Roses are students of Heidegger and agree with Badiou and Meillassioux that looking at material conditions matters a great deal (note here that the very phrase “matters” shows the preference for materiality), especially when it comes to political concerns, we do profess to be traditional and, in light of that, we would be remiss to not end this reflection on a Christian note. Then, we saw how contemporary continental philosophy has been shifting towards a new materialism, taking the side of realism against the traditionally favored idealism. First, we looked at Heidegger, why he was not an idealist, and how his account of dasein steps over both realism and idealism. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.We have been looking at various attempts to deal with the problem of realism and idealism.

For its determination the categories cannot be employed that would demand a faculty of non-sensuous intuition, which we do not possess, and would amount to the illegitimate assertion of noumena in the positive sense.Kant now adds to the term noumena the qualifying phrase "in the positive sense.

But in so doing it at the same time sets limits to itself, recognising that it cannot know these noumena through any of the categories, and that it must therefore think them only under the title of an unknown something.

The distinction between phenomena and noumena is, therefore, nothing but the expression of the distinction between understanding and reason, a distinction which, according to Kant, is merely subjective.

If, therefore, we wish to apply the categories to objects which cannot be regarded as phenomena, we must have an intuition different from the sensuous, and in this case the objects would be a noumena in the positive sense of the word.

The chapter on the distinction between phenomena and noumena very much lessens the hopes, aroused, perchance, by the establishment of the non-empirical origin of the categories, for an application of these not confined to any experience.
