Immanuel Kant (German: Immanuel Kant, April 22, 65438+0724-February 65438+02,0804), born in Konigsberg, Germany, is a German philosopher and writer and the founder of German classical philosophy. His theory has deeply influenced modern western philosophy and created many schools such as German classical philosophy and Kant's philosophy.

Kant was the last major philosopher in the Enlightenment and a representative figure in German ideological circles. He reconciled rene descartes's rationalism with Bacon's empiricism, and is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers in the West after Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

Kant deeply discussed the realization and maintenance of human freedom and rights, as well as legal philosophy issues such as private law and public law, and formed rich legal philosophy thoughts, which had a great influence on the development of legal philosophy in later generations.

Kant's critical philosophy system is a combination of modern rationalism and empiricism, which has distinct duality characteristics. His philosophy had a far-reaching influence on German classical philosophy and western philosophy, and also influenced the birth of Marxist philosophy.
