There is no doubt that Kant’s philosophy holds a strong position in history. As a successor of modern philosophy, he started a no thinking logic and applying to how to make knowledge back on the path of science. Kant’s Copernicus revolution broke and realized the transcendence of modern philosophy. The distinction between thing-in-itself and phenomenon is the basic premise and the key of the philosophy of Kant’s transcendental logic. On this basis, Kant’s examination of metaphysics has carried on the back through rational criticism.Philosophical two-world division has experienced several periods, from man is all things started in the philosophy of inner self to find direction of ancient Greeks Protagoras to Plato’s theory of idea that firstly clear the division of two-world, and to the modern philosophy of two-world rational interpretation and thus pushes epistemology into the center of the philosophical discussion during this period and Locke’s argument on this topic spawned dogmatism and skepticism, which became a cutting entrance for Kant’s critique of metaphysics. Kant, by Copernicus revolution, make a re-examination of previous metaphysics, transforming the fit pattern of subjective and objective, putting forward establishing law for nature by man that objects in accordance with the understanding of the knowledge model. He put forward the concept of phenomena and thing-in-itself whose primary task was to limit the boundary of the people could know. However, in the mainstream interpretation of the phenomenon and thing-in-itself, we usually focus on the experience using of cognitive concept, the distinction between noumenon and phenomenon and those between ontology and transcendental object meanwhile we also found that the difference and identity intertwined, which identity can be simply interpreted as the non-same objective description from the same object and object itself. Although Kant said a few words in the text on the possibility of the identity, the phenomenon and thing-in-itself have different time and space features and is radically different in time and space. True it is that the distinction between appearance and thing-in-itself laying in space and time. In addition, whether Kant’s entity concept can be a mediate comparing phenomenon and thing-in-itself requires a examination. Finally, thing-in-itself is the cause of the phenomenon and causation is not applicable to the thing-in-itself, which became a fatal blow to the phenomenon and thing-in-itself s identity. Kant is more thoughtful and believes in ontology or the consistency of the ultimate existence, rather than assuming that the consistency of object, and compared with the individual’s highest reality, we should have more pressing moral reason believes that the spirit of ultimate reality. Based on mainstream interpretation of the phenomenon and thing-in-itself of thinking, can we be more clear on the meaning of Kant’s philosophy.
