FAQ About Immanuel Kant

Kant's 'Copernican Revolution' in philosophy refers to his radical shift in understanding the nature of knowledge, suggesting that instead of our knowledge conforming to external objects, it is the objects that conform to our perception and understanding. This means that while we engage with the external world, it is shaped by the cognitive faculties inherent to human beings. This shift moved the philosophical focus from the objective world to the subjective experience and the conditions that allow for understanding.
