Kant is the standard-bearer of the German philosophical revolution and the founder of German classical philosophy. Based on his critical philosophy, Kant proposed that man is an end rather than a means, liberating man from the shackles of simple causal inevitability, and completing the transformation from classical legal philosophy to modern legal philosophy and a revolutionary change in the history of development. At the same time, Kant conducted in-depth discussions on legal philosophy issues such as the realization and maintenance of human freedom and rights, as well as private law and public law, forming rich legal philosophical thoughts, which had a significant impact on the development of legal philosophy in later generations.

Kant’s critical philosophy system is a contradictory combination of modern rationalism and empiricism, with distinctive dualistic characteristics. His philosophy had a profound impact on German classical philosophy and Western philosophy, and also had a profound impact on the birth of Marxist philosophy?[9]?.
