 Thing in itself - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments
 
Thing-in-itself: The concept of the "thing-in-itself," or "Ding an sich" in German, originates from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. It refers to an object's existence and properties independent of human perception, cognition, or experience. Kant proposed that our knowledge of the world is shaped by our mental faculties and the way our minds organize sensory information. He argued that while we perceive and understand the world through our senses and mental structures, we cannot directly apprehend things as they truly are in themselves. See also reality, absoluteness, cognition, knowledge.
