Kant

This week I will post 4 posts, each on one 19th century philosopher. Today's post will be about Immanuel Kant, one of the most famous philosophers from this period.

Some of Kant's major philosophical treatise dealt with morals. Kant believed that rationality was the key law of morals, and that all morals could be defined by reason. He believed that we should evaluate actions by thinking whether everything acting this way would lead to a contradiction.

Kant is also renown for claiming the beauty is a state of the mind, rather than a state of an object itself. In this way it is purely subjective.


Kant also stated that philosophy should acknowledge that the sciences would develop most of the knowledge about the world, but that philosophers should continue to keep to an analysis based on reason, while acknowledging its weakness. This had a great influence on the scope of philosophy, which greatly changed in form following Kant's critique.

That's it for today, so the next few posts will be on philosophers, and then I will move on to a different historical topic. Looking forward to it...
