Kant ends traditional epistemology and founds the aesthetic approach. He does so by working on the distinction between representation and object. Kant denies the separatability of representation and its object. Representation and object are not separable because one cannot have an object without an representation. Kant, thus interpreted, comes very close to Goodman. Just as the object depends on the appearance, the world depends - according to Goodman — on the version. Not any version, but only true (or right) versions make worlds, is Goodman's thesis. Not imagined intuitions, but only empirical intuitions, that is, appearances, make objects, is Kant's point. Both hold that we are operating within intuitions or versions respectively. This is the closure of experience.Kant zaključi tradicionalno epistemologijo ter utemelji estetiški pristop. To stori z razdelavo razlikovanja med reprezentacijo in objektom. Kant zanika ločljivost reprezentacije in njenega objekta. Reprezentacija in objekt nista ločljiva, ker ne moremo imeti objekta brez reprezentacije. Ce Kanta interpretiramo na tak način, ga zelo približamo Goodmanu. Tako kot je objekt odvisen od videza, tako je svet - po Goodmanu - odvisen od verzije. Goodmanova teza je, da le resnične (ali prave) verzije, in ne katerekoli, tvorijo svet. Po Kantu le empirične intuicije, se pravi videzi, tvorijo objekte - ne pa zamišljene intuicije. Oba trdita, da delujemo znotraj intuicij ali ustreznih verzij. To je zapora izkustva
