I think Kant would disagree here, and I’m inclined to take his side on this:
- All phenomena are presented to us through the formal intuitions of space, time, and causality
- These categories are anthropocentric: they structure human experience
- There is a world outside of human experience
- Therefore, there is a world outside of space, time, and causality, which exists but which cannot be presented to us phenomenally
So I think the case could be made that it *is* an irrational position to deny the existence of anything outside the phenomenal realm.
