A thing shows itself and whatever that shows itself is a thing, however it shows itself and to whomever it shows itself. The face of the thing differs according to the way in which it is seen. If Kant had in mind only the "thing in itself", the one still sought by quantum physicists and which vanishes upon analysis, Heidegger, for his part, saw the thing only as a work of art, as a work of Great Art. There are at least three other ways of seeing it: the way of mathematicians, which is that of set theory; the way of the animal from which we all originate; and finally, the way of our ordinary gaze, that is, the way of all of us and of every day, the way that shows the subjective thing of the logos.
