A counter-argument to Aquinas is that his basic assumption (shared with Aristotle) is that a human mind can know a thing as the thing would be apart from any human mind.

Refer to Aristotle's conception of the human mind as the form of forms, and the analogy of the wax seal. Aristotle and Aquinas privilege the known object's contribution to knowledge, while Kant privileges the knowing subject's contribution to knowledge - after all, we are primarily knowers, fundamentally minds. "There is nothing more certain than consciousness," Kant starts with.
