He agreed broadly that the human mind and its perceptions can never "get beyond itself" into reality, but he denied that all knowledge had experience as its foundation. For example, geometrical truths he held to be known neither by logic nor experience, but by an "intuition" with space itself. He accounted for this by making space a mental thing. The world (as we perceive and understand it) is formed by the mind, and not the other way around.
