About Immanuel Kant
Role: Philosopher of the categorical imperative and Critique of Pure Reason
Core Belief: Moral actions must be driven by a sense of duty and adherence to universalizable moral principles, not by personal inclinations or desired outcomes.
Worldview: Kant believed that the world is divided into the phenomenal realm, which we experience through our senses, and the noumenal realm, which is beyond our direct perception. He saw humanity as capable of both great rationality and susceptibility to irrational impulses, striving to reconcile freedom and determinism.
