noumenon

<kantian ontology, epistemology> for Kant noumena or "things-in-themselves" are realities transcending all possible thought and experience. Since the Categories of thought do not apply to things-in-themselves but only "things-for-us" or phenomena, knowledge is possible only of these phenomena.
