Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant was a pivotal figure in the Enlightenment, known for his profound influence on modern philosophy, particularly in epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, and aesthetics. Born on April 22, 1724, in Königsberg, East Prussia, he spent his entire academic career at the University of Königsberg, where he became a professor and later a leading thinker. Kant's rigorous approach to philosophy emphasized the importance of reason and autonomy in moral decision-making, famously urging individuals to 'dare to know' and think independently. His works, including the 'Critique of Pure Reason' and the 'Critique of Practical Reason,' laid the groundwork for contemporary philosophical thought, earning him the title of the father of modern ethics and aesthetics. He passed away on February 12, 1804, leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to shape philosophical discourse.
