Kant said we cannot detect reality as he thought it was, so he invented something called "Noumena", the opposite of phenomena--the second is what we detect, the first is what Kant said is undetectable. So how did he know they existed if they are undetectable? Like every other theory that says we cannot know the 'real' reality, Kant's epistemology is one that demolishes the idea that the human mind can have knowledge.
If we can't know 'real' reality, then we know nothing. But if we know nothing, our species would have died out long ago, because 'knowing' is all we have.

Scientificly thats all well and good but as a spectator on this earth the grass is green till you cut it at witch point it changes to some other color and it's the same piece of stuff just loosin life is all. You can dig as deep as you want you can call it anything you like but a rose is a rose , anyway we know what goes on behind clowds because of what happened yesterday thats why we are forced to take history in school , cause as it turns out the sun comes up every day and it has every sence the beginning of time no matter when that was.
