Books by Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) was a German philosopher who spent almost his entire life in Königsberg, Prussia. He is considered the central figure of modern philosophy. His three major Critiques — of Pure Reason (1781), Practical Reason (1788), and Judgment (1790) — constitute one of the most systematic and influential achievements in the history of philosophy. His ethical theory, grounded in the categorical imperative, and his political philosophy, which prefigured liberal democratic theory, remain central to academic philosophy today.
