It appears to me that the "thing in itself" of anything is supremely individual and so individual that we can't grasp it. We see a pear for example as food or art, and something else but as it is in itself we can not grasp. I have two questions about this

1) does it make sense to speak of a thing that cannot be seen from any perspective

2) why is it that the thing-in-itself escapes perception

The answer to the second question might come from how we perceive things. We sometimes can only understand singulars to understanding it in a community with other objects. Sometimes we however only can understand things one at a time. We seem to have different aspects of thinking, therefore, and all are optimal in understanding the world according to patterns and universals. Our language itself is an aspect of our minds (thinking apparatus) that expresses how we are meant to see the world. And that is exactly such that we can understand the world in unity so that we can have social relationships within nations and do so such that we have a coherent view of reality. But then why do we even wonder about the thing in itself? What are we wondering about and does it mean to wonder about that? Thanks
