Quote of the day by Immanuel Kant : “You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am.” The quote focuses on the difference between how a person appears to others and what that person may actually be. It raises a question about perception and judgment. What people see is shaped by their senses, experiences and ways of understanding the world. The idea is linked to Kant’s philosophical discussion of appearance and reality. His work examined how humans gain knowledge and what limits exist on that knowledge. The quote can therefore be read in connection with questions about how people understand others and themselves.
