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":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614380540055,"sku":"9780199243174","price":5307.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199243174.webp?v=1775093170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kantian-humility-our-ignorance-of-things-in-themselves-9780199243174","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
