Immanuel Kant

He was a german philosopher born in 1724... It is the first and most important representative of German idealism and is considered one of the most influential thinkers of modern Europe, in the last period of enlightenment and universal philosophy.








He was the promoter of the Criticism, he said that knowledge has limits : human faculties.


His ideas were a combination of Rationalism and Empiricism, he said that both were right in something but also wrong in other matters.


 He reaffirm that knowledge starts in senses, but the reason is the one that orders that information you got trough senses.

One argument he had was that knowledge we obtain requires the combination of reason and experience.

We use the Categories that are rational operations to order the information captured through senses just like space and time.

He thought in 2 concepts to differentiate existing things...

Phenomena o Phenomenon... things that exists, and we CAN perceive, for example you have a apple in front of you, you can see it and then eat it, therefore, you know that that apple does exist.

Nóumena o Noumeno... things that exist, and we CAN NOT perceive, for example you are said that ghosts exist, but you can't see it or touch it.
