ABSTRACT
The politicization of ‘truth’ was an unintended consequence of Immanuel Kant’s Copernican Revolution. This Revolution joined Rationalism’s allowance for knowledge to Empiricism’s critical thought. In mediating between the latter’s skepticism and the former’s dogmatism in his Critique of Pure Reason, 1 Kant (1724-1804) is credited with avoiding inconsistent views of the two schools.
