    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.
    categories(Kantian epistemology)
    The most basic concepts of objects in general, which are unavoidably employed whenever we think about anything whatsoever
    noumenal(Kantian concept)
    The world beyond, of which we cannot speak or know directly
    practical reason(Kantian moral philosophy)
    The rational faculty by which agents determine what is morally valuable and impose the moral law upon themselves.
    schematization(the statement contrasts categories before and after schematization)

    Anything that can be experienced through the five senses; things that exist in space and time and that we can directly perceive.
