German philosopher Immanuel Kant died #OTD in 1804. Kant's comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Western philosophy, being called the "father of modern ethics", "father of modern aesthetics" and, by bringing together rationalism & empiricism, the "father of modern philosophy". via @wikipedia

"Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer."

Critique of Pure Reason (1781; 1787), Preface, A vii

~Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804)
