 This is sometimes spoken from the side of the object as the appearance of the object to us. This ‘appearance’ then gets distinguished from the object […] But next the appearance, though properly the appearing of the object, gets itself to be looked on as itself an object and the immediate object of our consciousness, and being already, as we have seen, distinguished from the object and related to our subjectivity, becomes, so to say, a merely subjective ‘object’—‘appearance’ in that sense. and so, as appearance of the object, it has now to be represented not as the object but as some phenomenon caused in our consciousness by the object. Thus for the true appearance (= appearing) to us of the object is substituted, through the ‘objectification’ of the appearing as appearance, the appearing to us of an appearance, the appearing of a phenomenon caused in us by the object.
