Therefore this animal as we perceive it at this definite point of time, in this particular place, as an individual in the connection of experience (i.e., in the chain of causes and effects), which has come into being, and will just as necessarily pass away, is not a thing-in-itself, but a phenomenon which only exists in relation to our knowledge.
Horregatik da animalia hau, guk denbora determinatu honetan, toki jakin honetan, esperientziarekiko loturan, kausen eta efektuen katean bilakaturiko eta era berean derrigor iragankorra den banako hautematen dugun bezalakoa, ez da berbaitango gauza, baizik gure ezagutzarekiko harremanean bakarrik baliozko agerpen bat.
