Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) was a German philosopher and one of the central thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment, the originator of transcendental idealism.
He was born on April 22, 1724, in Königsberg. From 1740, he studied at the University of Königsberg, where in later years he taught as a Privat-dozent (from 1755) and a Professor (from 1770); he lectured not only on philosophy, but also on mathematics, physics, geography, and anthropology. In 1786 and 1788, he was elected the rector of the university.
Immanuel Kant's philosophical beliefs are set out in his works The Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787), The Critique of Practical Reason (1788), The Critique of Judgement (1790) and several other writings.
Immanuel Kant's philosophy had an enormous impact on the whole subsequent development of European thought. The range of problems of his ideas remained topical for most philosophical trends of the 20th century: phenomenology, existentialism, analytical philosophy and others.
The postage stamp provides a portrait of Immanuel Kant by painter A. Zhuravlev from the collection of the Kaliningrad Regional Amber Museum.
