Emmanuel Kant
Definition
German philosopher of the Lights, born in Koenigsberg, where it passed all its life, in 1724, died in 1804
Description
It taught not only philosophy, but also logic, physics and pedagogy. One of the first, it understood that what one called at his time nebulas was other galaxies comparable with ours, universe-islands, according to its expression. Its philosophical work is organized around three great questions: - 1° That can I know? It answers it in its major book, the Criticism of the pure reason: no knowledge without experiment, which eliminates metaphysics. - 2° That must-to make? Response in the Bases of the metaphysics of manners and the Criticism of the practical reason: to act by having. - 3° That is it allowed to me to hope? That God exists and that the heart is immortal, but it is only possible, that can be the subject of no knowledge, but only of one belief. It is especially the Criticism of the pure reason which, in 1781, constituted a revolution in the history of philosophy.
