Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher who is considered to be one of the central figure of modern philosophy. Kant argued that fundamental concepts of the human mind structure human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of our sensibility, and that the world as it is "in-itself" is unknowable. His pivotal work, the Critique of Pure Reason (1781) is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy.
