Langton argues that his claim that we have no knowledge of things in themselves is not idealism, but epistemic humility; we have no knowledge of the intrinsic properties of substances. This interpretation vindicates Kant's scientific realism and shows his primary\/secondary quality distinction to be superior even to modern day competitors. And it answers the famous charge that Kant's tale of things in themselves is one that makes itself untellable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51676045541664,"sku":"NEW0199243174","price":78.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61YbqEZLxqL.jpg?v=1779232375","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/kantian-humility-our-ignorance-of-things-in-themselves-0199243174","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
