930Hello is anyone there I am trying to talk to you using this screen of white paper thing that is writing with black letters to tell you my life it is so mysterious but I hope you are listening to this amazing story I am Immanuel Kant you may already know me because I am German philosopher during the enlightenment era of the late 18th century I guess the rumor about me is that I am the amazing person that Critique of Pure Reason Well let s not talk about my success not yet until I was older let s start from the beginning I was born on April 22 1724 in Konigsberg Prussia or what is now Kaliningrad Russia My parents ugh names are Johann Georg Kant my father and my mother is Regina Dorothea Reuter but this story I am telling you is not about them at all They thought I was a harness maker and our large family lived a humble life My whole family was part of the Protestant religious group are also called Pietists a German religious movement whose members strongly believed in religious experience and biblical study The religious part has a big part of my whole life since I was born until the day died I will always continue to like the pietists to appreciate what we have in life My elementary school life was at Saint George Hospital school and then at the college of Collegium Fridericianum a very good school with lots religious things were I stayed at 1732 until 1740 At the school I learned a lot really wonderful classic Latin literature and poet named Lucretius Then in 1740 I had entered into the University of Konigsberg as a theology student and soon after I became loving mathematics and physics
Then tragic a thing happened in my life in 1746 is when my father died he was forced to leave the university to go help his family When I went to help his family I made a dedication to making money and I did I became a private tutor for the wealthy During this time I was missing the physical world so when I privately tutored wealthy people I started to make some papers dealing with like scientific questions exploring the middle ground between rationalism and empiricism I haven t talked in awhile but it is now 1750 and I returned to the University of Konigsberg to continue my education In the same year I received my doctrine of philology I for the next 15 years I will work as a lecturer and tutor and begin my life works in my philology life Then 10 years later I became a professor at the same college I been going to for years and I will be teaching metaphysics and logic Then so many years later in 1781 my life paid off I made the Critique of Pure Reason it is most important one I will ever right on Western thoughts I tried to make people understand reason and experiences interact with thought and understanding I want people to understand mid organizes experience in understanding the real world This proposal explained how a person mind organized experience on how the world works Soon after that guess what a I made something else that you would maybe already know about me like I said in beginning I must be popular in that world of yours and it is called the moral law called the categorical imperative it explained what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong there are no dark areas
Then after two years in 1783 I restated the first main outlines critique in a brief analyse in the Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Then I now my life is boring this super long but I bet you now a this so stop if want or do you want more details about life Then in 1785 I presented many reasons of Fundamental Principle of the Metaphysics of Morals Then two more years later I made the Critique of Practical Reason There is only one human reason but after it decides what it can know it must determine how it shall act Thus the freedom of the will determines how one shall lead his life Then in 1790 I completed my third critique it is The Critique of Judgment it attempts to connect with the nature with the concepts of freedom Then after all my accomplishments I kept on writing about what I loved to do are the sources of influences I didn t tell the most thing I bet you want to know is that I am barely five feet tall and in my opinion that I am very thin a skinny secretly I had very fragile health Towards the end of my life was so scary but I was ready to go I just became antisocial and bitter over going through my life losing all my memory and my capacity to work anymore Then make a lot worse I became blind and and finally died on February 12 1804 in Königsberg By the way what I think about this ink on white paper is amazing it is so much faster than regular writing with ink and quill
