Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
Object-constitution(metaphysics): The question of what something is made up of or composed of—what parts or properties constitute an object.
Passive intentionality(phenomenology): The way your mind relates to objects without you actively thinking about them or using concepts—like the raw, immediate way you experience something before you label it.
Pre-conceptual(as used in epistemology): Happening before you use concepts or categories to understand something; raw experience that hasn't been labeled or organized by your thinking yet.
