transcendental idealism(Kant's own label for his philosophical position)
The position that the main forms of objects (spatiality, temporality, substantiality, causality, etc.) are imposed by the subject upon experience and therefore cannot be regarded as real forms of objects independent of our representations, while nonetheless maintaining that both selves and objects really exist independently of our representations of them.
