“Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.”

German philosopher

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher of the Enlightenment, born in Königsberg in the Kingdom of Prussia. He remains a central figure in modern Western philosophy. His work ranged across epistemology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, political theory, and philosophy of religion. These wide-ranging writings made him one of the most influential and closely discussed thinkers in the modern tradition.
