Germany was introduced into the path of philosophy by Kant, so philosophy became a national cause. A group of outstanding thinkers suddenly appeared on the land of Germany, just like being summoned by magic. Kant is one of the sources of German philosophical rivers. Later generations absorbed him as a great man. -Heine Kant, a German poet, is the founder of German classical philosophy and an epoch-making philosopher in the history of modern western philosophy. On the basis of inheriting predecessors, Kant boldly opened up a philosophical road that predecessors had never taken, and made immortal achievements.
As a philosopher in18th century, Kant's job is to develop an individual-based epistemology. At this point, empiricists, rationalists and Kant stand together. In many ways, Kant is a liberal tradition. At the same time, he represents a decisive break with the empiricism and utilitarianism that dominated at the end of 18. When this fracture happened, Kant put forward his transcendental philosophy, trying to reject empiricism (Locke and Hume) and rationalism (Descartes).
True thinkers are always admired by the world. Kant, known as "Copernicus in the field of human philosophy", is a lonely old man who only admired the starry sky above his head and the moral law in his heart all his life. He is a philosopher who miraculously created the building of classical philosophy. After his death, the residents of Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad) fell into great sorrow. For 16 days in a row, people spontaneously went to pay tribute to the remains of this great thinker and philosopher who was less than 1.6 meters. Until now, when young people in Kaliningrad get married, they never forget to bring a bunch of flowers to Kant's grave.
It has been two centuries since Kant died, and some people question that Kant is out of date. In this regard, Professor Bowen, president of the German Kant Research Association, believes that Kant, as an out-and-out enlightener, people should "understand his philosophical works as some kind of political action". Kant founded German classical idealism and initiated the German bourgeois philosophy revolution. The development of German idealism is the process in which Fichte criticizes Kant, Schelling criticizes Fichte and Hegel criticizes Schelling. The starting point of Hegel's dialectics is Kant's philosophy. After the disintegration of Hegel's philosophy, the philosophy of many German universities developed into neo-Kantism, and their slogan was "Return to Kant". /kloc-Neo-realism and phenomenology in modern philosophy from the late 9th century to the middle 20th century can also be traced back to Kant's philosophy.
For the contemporary world, Kant's immortal judgment on "what is enlightenment" and his exposition on international law and "permanent peace" still sound enlightening and thought-provoking today. Reminiscent of the process of EU integration and reviewing the world situation in the past two years, people have to respect this philosopher who lived nearly 300 years ago.
