Tractatus and Kant

Is Kant’s notion of the unknowability of things in themselves compatible with Wittgenstein’s notion of objects in the Tractatus?

No, in Proposition 2.01, "an atomic fact is a combination of objects (entities, things)." Given Proposition 1, objects here are more like objects of experience, for Kant, than the *thing-in-itself*, i.e. objects which we sense and can picture in propositions. The latter would fall beyond Wittgenstein's sensibility, just as it does for Kant, though for Kant we can know *of* them as grounds for appearances whereas for Wittgenstein we must pass over in silence.
