Document Summary
Immanuel kant is from a konigsberg which was regarded quite boring and not the liveliest city where intellectuals inhibit. Kant was punctual and rigid in the way he behaved. The desire to keep everything in order, is something that he carried though to his death. Kant believed in pulling yourselves from your own bootstraps. In one way, like plato he believed in permanent. Kant believe that the world is chaotic but he doesn"t believe in the divinity of truth. Kant didn"t believe in a reality that transcendent reality that is above this world. There is no metaphysics in kant, he did not believe in a stable truth. To him, this is shaped from our own understanding, Kant had said that what we know is based on the structures of the mind . It is ignorant to believe that you can find the truth. Kant believes that there is a limit to what we know.
