The great Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant was one of the greatest philosopher of all time. He is the first philosopher of the criticism and precursor of the German idealism.

Kant born in Königsberg, Germany, in 1724. There is not very much to talk about his life, that sincerely was a little boring, but his work is very great.

His most important work is Critique of Pure Reason. It’s impossible explain the importance of his work to the philosophy and to the world. He was near to close the differences between empiricism and rationalism, made a wonderful analysis of ethical and moral and wrote things of radical importance about the punishment. A great part of his work has been very useful to the Laws.

As a consequence of his work, other philosophes like Fichte, Schelling, Hegel or Schopenhauer expand their production by complementing or contradicting what Immanuel thought.    

I like him because the way that he confronts the empiricism/rationality dichotomy, I think that, although it could be something wrong, it’s impressive, especially considering his times.
