He is considered one of the important founders of modern philosophy, and his ideas have a profound influence on the subsequent development of philosophy. Had a profound impact. Kant's philosophical system is divided into the category of "Kant's philosophy", among which his epistemology and ethical thoughts are the most famous.

Objective idealism is a philosophical position that believes that the nature of the real world is determined by human thinking. That is, it believes that human consciousness and thinking are the ultimate factors that determine the existence and nature of things, rather than external objective world. Kant's philosophy contains some important ideas that can help to understand why he is regarded as a representative of objective idealism.
First of all, Kant emphasized the importance of "transcendental knowledge". He believed that human knowledge not only comes from experience, but also includes some a priori knowledge that does not depend on experience. These prior knowledge are the basis for human understanding of the world. They exist in our thinking structure and shape our understanding of the world. Therefore, Kant believes that human thinking ability plays a decisive role in understanding the world.
