( Noumenon)
The noumenon (plural noumena) classically refers to an object of human inquiry, understanding or cognition. It is a posited object or event as it is in itself independent of the senses.[1] The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to, "phenomenon" (plural phenomena), 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; A noumenon cannot be the actual object that emits the phenomenon in question. Noumena are objects or events known only to the imagination - independent of the senses. It may be further contrasted with the perception and processing of a phenomenon in the human mind. Roughly, a noumenon may be distinguished from the following concepts, although there is debate of the synonymity between them
