hend, < vooc, Attic ion?, the mind, the intelli- 
gence: see MOM*.] In the Kantian jihilos.: (a) 
That which can be the object only of a purely 
intellectual intuition. 
If I admit things which are objects of the understanding 
only, and nevertheless can be given as objects of an Intni 
lion though not of sensuous Intuition (as coram Intultu 
Intellectuall), such things would be called JhMMMpk. 
telllgihilia). . . . Unless, therefore, we are to move In a 
constant circle, we must admit that the very word phe- 
nomenon indicates a relation to something the Immediate 
representation of which Is no doubt sensuous, but which 
nevertheless, even without this qualification of our sensi- 
bility (on which the form of our intuition Is founded\ must 
in- something by itself, that is, an object independent of 
our sensibility. Hence arises the concept of a nuumenon, 
which, however, Is not positive, nor a definite knowledge 
of anything, but which Implies only the thinking of some- 
thing without taking any account of the form of sensuous 
intuition. But, in order that a noumenon may signify a 
real object that can be distinguished from all phenomena. 
It Is not enough that I should free my thought of all con- 
ditions of sensuous intuition, but I must besides have some 
reason for admitting another kind of intuition besides the 
sensuous, in which such an object can be given, otherwise 
my thought would be empty, however free It may be from 
contradictions. . . . The object to which I refer any phe- 
nomenon Is a transcendental object. . . . Tills cannot be 
called the tutumenon. 
Kant, Critique of Pure Reason (tr. by Max M tiller, 1881), 
ipp. 217, 211). 
In a negative sense, a lummennn would be an object not 
given in sensuous perception ; In a positive sense, a nou- 
meuim would be an object given in a non-sensuous, i. e. 
an intellectual, perception. 
K. Caird, Philos. of Kant, p. 498. 
(/)) Inexactly, a thing as it is apart from all 
thought; what remains of the object of thought 
after space, time, and all the categories of the 
understanding are abstracted from it ; a thing 
in itself.
