Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) stands among the greatest thinkers of the
Western world. There is hardly an area of thought, at least of
philosophical thought, to which he did not make significant and
lasting contributions. Particularly noteworthy are his writings on
the foundations and limits of human knowledge, the bidimensional
nature of perceptual or "natural" objects (including human beings),
the basic principles and ends of morality, the character of a just
society and of a world at peace, the movement and direction of
human history, the nature of beauty, the end or purpose of all
creation, the proper education of young people, the true conception
of religion, and on and on. Though Kant was a life-long resident of
Konigsberg, Prussia - child, student, tutor, and then professor of
philosophy (and other subjects) - his thought ranged over nearly
all the world and even beyond. Reports reveal that he (a bachelor)
was an amiable man, highly respected by his students and
colleagues, and even loved by his several close friends. He was
apparently a man of integrity, both in his personal relations and
in his pursuit of knowledge and truth. Despite his somewhat
pessimistic attitude toward the moral progress of mankind - judging
from past history and contemporary events - he never wavered from a
deep-seated faith in the goodness of the human heart, in man's
"splendid disposition toward the good.
