About the author

Immanuel Kant

The most important philosopher of the modern era, Kant effected a 'Copernican revolution' in philosophy by arguing that the mind actively structures experience. His three Critiques address knowledge, morality, and aesthetic judgment respectively. His categorical imperative remains the most discussed principle in ethics.
