Topic > Analysis of Kant's Critique of Practical Reason

Every era gives birth to its own heroes. Starting from the glory times of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire with Aristotle, Heracles and Alexander the Great, passing through the dark ages, when St. Thomas and Roger Bacon created eternity and concluding with the creators of modern times – Eddisson and Enshtein, humanity created idealistic images of its best representatives. Formally, Kant was the ideological opponent of Newton, the rational genius, who made knowledge and mind exist at the level of God.
