Kant
in the texts
Ancient Law
Philosopher credited with breaking older moral philosophy through Critical Philosophy.
In speaking of moral philosophy as extraordinarily indebted to Roman jurisprudence, I must be understood to intend moral philosophy as understood previously to the break in its history effected by Kant, that is, as the science of the rules governing human conduct, of their proper interpretation and of the limitations to which they are subject.
The Rights of War and Peace
Philosopher whose Critique of Pure Reason is adapted and opposed by Schopenhauer.
When Schopenhauer began to write, he declared himself a true disciple of Kant, but he modifies and adapts Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason” to such an extent that he reaches the attitude of opposition.
History of Modern Philosophy from Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time
Central figure of modern German philosophy whose critical philosophy marked a major transition in the history of thought.
It is true, indeed, that the transition brought about by Kant's noëtical and ethical revolution was of great significance,--more significant even than the Socratic period, with which we are fond of comparing it;
the interest in noëtics and methodology vigorously develops, remains a constant factor in modern inquiry, and culminates in Kant, not again to die away.
France gives the initiative (in Descartes), then England assumes the leadership (in Locke), with Leibnitz and Kant the hegemony passes over to Germany.
