(a posteriori) Immanuel kant: he suggested that what we know about an object comes through a combination of our knowledge of the object itself, but our particular knowledge about that object is through our experience. Kant: noumena are objects we can"t understand through experience. Phenomena: stuff that we become aware of through experience. Natural objects must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur edmund. Pure phenomenology, its method, and its field of investigation .
