Can we see reality as it is?

It seems like a philosophical question to me. It's about whether or not we can perceive reality as it actually is without the interpretation of human faculties, which is a perennial question that authors like Immanuel Kant have been trying to tackle since the 18th century. There's definitely some crossover with science, though. I think that science has pretty much resolved it, at least as far as we can resolve questions in philosophy.
