In Kantian philosophy, the thing-in-itself (German: Ding an sich) is the status of objects as they are, independent of representation and observation. The concept of the thing-in-itself was introduced by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant , and over the following centuries was met with controversy among later philosophers. [ 1 ]
Yet, although proceeding historically, Hegel resists the relativistic consequences of Herder's own thought.
