Immanuel Kant (German: Immanuel Kant) was an 18th-century German philosopher (1724–1804). He lived his entire life in Königsberg, Prussia. He was the last philosopher to influence modern European culture and one of the most important philosophers to write on classical epistemology. Immanuel Kant was the last philosopher of the Enlightenment, which began with British thinkers John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume.
Immanuel Kant proposed a new perspective on philosophy that influenced and continues to influence European philosophy to this day, meaning his influence extended from the 18th century to the 21st century. He published important and fundamental works on epistemology and other works related to religion, law, and history.
