FAQ About Immanuel Kant

What was Kant's influence on epistemology?
Kant revolutionized epistemology by arguing that knowledge arises from the interaction between sensory data and the mind's inherent structures. He introduced the idea of a 'Copernican Revolution' in philosophy, suggesting that knowledge conforms to the conditions of the perceiver, rather than the world conforming to an external reality. This approach greatly influenced later philosophical movements, such as German idealism and phenomenology, by highlighting the subjective elements of human experience and understanding.
