In our view, the reason for this ontological overcoming of epistemological dichotomies (appearances vs. the thing in itself; necessity vs. freedom etc.) can indeed be motivated by the Post-Kantian insight that the very mode of appearance occurs within the noumenal. If we oppose the noumenal and the phenomenal in terms of an account of the finitude of knowledge we blind ourselves to the fact that this opposition ex hypothesi occurs within the noumenal itself. Otherwise put, the whole domain of the representation of the world (call it mind, spirit, language, consciousness, or whatever medium you prefer) needs to be understood as an event within and of the world itself. Thought is not at all opposed to being, it is rather being’s replication within itself.

这个思路我感觉真的是在自然哲学中体现得最淋漓尽致；后来塞尔所谓的“作为生物学现象的意向性”也有点这个意思。
