Slavoj Žižek

“In Hegelian terms, this means that we are dealing with two In-itself: the way things are really (independently of us) in itself, and the way they appear to us to be in-itself—every appearance implies (or, rather, creates) its own in-itself, it conceals-and-indicates a dimension of substantial reality behind its veil, and, for Hegel, we pass from substance to subject when we realize that there is nothing behind the veil, just what we (the observing subjects) put (or, rather, projected) there. “Object-oriented-ontology” ignores this duality, it identifies these two in-itself; its “transcendence” (reality in itself) is therefore immanent, transcendentally constituted, i.e., what it conceives as the In-itself is subjectively constituted, it emerges within a given horizon of meaning.”
