ABSTRACT
Kant ushered in a new epoch in philosophical thought. His major writings constitute a milestone in the history of philosophy; he is one of those great and profound thinkers who, by their works, but also by their lives, exercised a lasting influence upon the intellectual life of their own time and posterity. No one concerned with philosophy can pass by his theories, whose further development continues to this day; he is compelled to come to terms with this ‘critic who grinds everything to powder’.
