The Kantian noumenon-phenomenon dualism mirrors the agency-system oscillation

Evidence

In Kant himself, clearly, such an “earlier version” is offered by the superposition and coexistence of the two parallel worlds of the noumenon and the phenomenon, which seem rigorously to occupy the same space, but of which (like waves or particles) only one can be “intended” by the mind’s eye at any point. … Freedom and causality then in Kant rehearse a dialectic altogether comparable to this one of agency and system, or — in its practical political or ideological form — voluntarism versus determinism. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 706
