Excerpt from The Problem of Things in Themselves
By the 'problem of things in themselves' I mean simply the problem as to the existence and nature of things as they are for themselves, independently of a perceiver. It is a problem because, in the first place, the very existence of things independently of a perceiver (or, outside of experience, human and superhuman) has been denied by some, and seems to demand argument; and in the second place, because those who believe in their existence have ascribed to them, as they exist outside of our experience, all sorts of varying natures. The term 'things in themselves' does not rightly connote an existence of a different sort from that which the data of our experience have, or from that which we naturally ascribe to unperceived things. That is a matter for argument, one way or the other. The table-as-it-exists-for-itself-when-no-one-sees-it may have, as we naively suppose it to have, the same qualities which it has as a datum of my experience - brownness, smoothness, etc. But even so, has it not other, unperceived qualities? Would an analysis of the perception-datum exhaust the analysis of the thing as it exists for itself?
When we study the mechanism of perception new light is thrown on the matter. We discover that some, at least, of the qualities of our perception-data seem to be dependent on the nature of our organisms and to vary with them. How then can they be qualities of the things out there beyond our organisms? Do things have in themselves some but not all of the qualities they have in our experience?
Here are two possibilities: namely, that things have in themselves more qualities, or that they have fewer qualities, than can be found in our perceptions of them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating journey into the heart of a timeless philosophical debate: the nature of reality. This book delves into the profound question of whether things exist independently of our perception, or if our minds shape the world we experience. The author traces the history of this philosophical inquiry, exploring the contrasting viewpoints of renowned thinkers like Democritus, Plato, Descartes, Locke, Berkeley, and Kant. From the atomic theories of the ancient Greeks to the idealism of the 18th century and the rise of panpsychism, the book unveils a tapestry of diverse perspectives on the elusive "thing-in-itself." Prepare to engage with fundamental questions about the relationship between our minds and the external world, the role of perception in shaping our reality, and the possibility of a consciousness that extends beyond human experience. The author's insightful analysis challenges our assumptions and invites us to ponder the very essence of existence. By exploring the complexities of perception and the limits of human knowledge, this book ultimately illuminates the profound mystery of the universe and our place within it.
