Kant, Immanuel
Kant, Immanuel (1724–1804) German metaphysical philosopher. He was a teacher and professor of logic and
metaphysics at the University of Königsberg. The order and modesty of Kant's life was undisturbed by the notoriety caused by his publications. Kant's philosophy of
idealism, outlined in
Critique of Pure Reason (1781), sought to discover the nature and boundaries of human knowledge. It was much influenced by Isaac
Newton and David
Hume. Kant's system of ethics, described in the
Critique of Practical Reason (1790), places moral duty above happiness and asserts the existence of an absolute moral law (the “categorical imperative”). His views on aesthetics are embodied in his
Critique of Judgment (1790). Kant also produced several essays in support of religious liberalism and the
Enlightenment.
