noumenon Explanation: "an unknown and unknowable substance or thing as it is in itself" Chambers Dictionary, seems simplest explanation. The essence of the thing, here liberty, cannot be measured or perceived. Think it has to be left as noun -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-10-28 22:30:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noumenon -also has definition and Lucia also gives good reference material. |

| Reference: noumenal Reference information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noumenon The noumenon (from Greek νοούμενoν, present participle of νοέω "I think, I mean"; plural: νοούμενα - noumena) is a posited object or event that is independent of the senses.[1] It classically refers to an object of human inquiry, understanding or cognition. As a concept it has much in common with objectivity. The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to "phenomenon", which refers to appearances, or objects of the senses. A phenomenon can be an exceptional, unusual, or abnormal thing or event—but it must be perceptible through the senses; according to Kant a noumenon is what results in the presentation of phenomenon. Noumena are objects or events known only to the mind - independent of the senses. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2010-10-28 21:40:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- # Kant Kant calls the real world, independent of our minds, the noumenal world.
