This seems to be the problem that Kant was dealing with. There are things in the way that we perceive and things in themselves. This seems to be applicable to your question. The concept of a tree, isn't what the trees are in themselves. This is a problem with epistemology, because we can't know the object in itself. We only have the concept of the tree that we have gained through empiricism.

Hello, I am a big fan of a lot of Noam Chomsky's work in both linguistics and political criticisms. I am not a 100% anarcho-capitalist, but I still hope I am welcome here. I tend to really like Noam Chomsky's political ideas, both on domestic and foreign policies. It seems that the ancaps, and libertarians really like his foreign policy and ignore his views on domestic issues. For example, when Stefan interviewed him, he introduced him as an anarchist, but did not specify that he is an anarcho-syndicalist, which I know anarcho-capitalists would really really disagree with that view. I guess my question is, why is there so much love for him by three different groups that he disagrees with? Many groups like to claim him as being on their side.
