KANT-Pure Mathematics

"Pure Mathematics, and especially pure geometry, can only have objective reality on condition that they refer to objects of sense. But in regard to the latter the principle holds good, that our sense representation is not a representation of things in themselves but of the way in which they appear to us."

When I read that blog, I had to read it twice because what caught my attention was the last comment that was made representation of things in themselves, but of the way in which they appear to us. I would definately say I have to agreee with Kant, because we ourselves even though we might want people to observe us in a representation of ourselves, other people have their own perceptions and impressions. This maybe could be the reason why we dress up well for a particular occasion, or do somethings out of the ordinary because we want to make a good and lasting representation.
