To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, the conception of a noumenon is necessary to prevent sensuous percep- tion from claiming to extend to things in themselves, and to set a limit to the objective validity of sensuous know- ledge. In the end, however, we are unable to understand 255 how such noumena are possible at all, and the realm beyond the sphere of phenomena is for us empty. We have indeed an understanding that problematically stretches beyond the sphere of phenomena, but we have no perception in which objects beyo...nd the field of sensi- bility can be presented, nor can we conceive how such a perception is even possible. Hence understanding cannot be employed asscrtorically beyond the world of phenomena. The conception of a noumenon is, there- 311 fore, merely the conception of a limit, a conception which is only of negative use, and but serves to check the presumption of sensibility. But although it is unable to TRANSCENDENTAL ANALYTIC. 133 esfe^blish anything positive beyond the sphere of pheno- mena, the idea of a noumenon is not a mere arbitrary fiction, but is connected in the closest way with the limitation of the sensibility to phenomena.
