This is basically Kant's solution in CPR (the noumenal world is his idea and his solution to the third antinomy which is the apparent contradiction between the physically determined world and the moral requirement for human freedom).

@virmaior I believe the concepts of noumenal and noumenon (in contrast with phenomenal and phenomenon) came from Platonic philsophy, but yes, this point of view is Kantian.

Yes, exactly, something like that! Are there explanations of the concept of a "noumenal world", so that it isn't just an unanalyzable "philosophical stopgap"... (not Kant's original texts, please, I find those impenetrable)
