The thing-in-itself is what Kant, said to synthesize continental rationalism and British empiricism, postulated in Critique of Pure Reason when examining experience itself as something behind experience and a necessary condition for making it possible.
Responding to Hume’s claim that “nothing can be known except what is experienced through the senses,” Kant held that “something producing experience,” the “thing in itself,” must be presupposed, but that such “things in themselves” cannot be experienced. Things in themselves cannot be cognized and do not depend on our subjectivity for their existence. Nor do they follow the law of causality.
According to Kant, there is no evidence whatsoever that the world of things-in-themselves exists. We do not know whether an intellectual order like the “thing-in-itself” exists, but subsequent experience will probably justify it.
大陸の合理論とイギリスの経験論の哲学を綜合したといわれるカントが、その著書『純粋理性批判』の中で、経験そのものを吟味した際、経験の背後にあり、経験を成立させるために必要な条件として要請したものが、物自体である。
「感覚によって経験されたもの以外は、何も知ることはできない」というヒュームの主張を受けて、カントは「経験を生み出す何か」「物自体」は前提されなければならないが、そうした「物自体」は経験することができない、と考えた。物自体は認識できず、存在するにあたって、我々の主観に依存しない。因果律に従うこともない。
カントに拠れば、物自体の世界が存在するといういかなる証拠もない。「物自体」のような知的な秩序があるかどうかわからないが、その後の経験によって正当化されるであろう。
