Experientialism[objectivist tradition of transcendental truth most prominently formulated by Immanuel Kant which still requires a commitment to what Lakoff and Johnson call "basic realism". Most importantly, this involves acknowledging the existence of a mind-independent external world and the possibility of stable knowledge of that external world.[1] In Women, Fire and Dangerous Things, Lakoff expands on the foundations of experientialism with research into the nature of categories.[clarification needed]
