Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher and an influential mind in the philosophy of Enlightenment.
He promoted the idea that one should think feely and autonomously, without influence from authority or doctrine.
One of Kantβs core beliefs was that reason is the ultimate source of morality and that what we perceive as beauty and desirable is subjective and dependent on the mind of the individual.
Kant also proposed that because of our lack of information and tangible evidence, it is impossible to know whether or not God, or an afterlife, really exists.
The quotes below are some of his best.
