Abstract
We can assume that an objective reality exists but our perception of it will always be subjective. This idea is articulated by the concept of “das Ding an sich” (the thingin-itself) in the philosophy of Kant [64]. The duality between the assumed objectiveworld and the perceived subjective world is also reflected by the various logic and probabilistic reasoning formalisms in use.
