Immanuel Kant was born on April 22, 1724 in the city of Königsberg in the Kingdom of Prussia (today’s Germany). Kant was born and raised here and spent most of his life. His father, Johann Georg Kant, was a craftsman and saddler with a limited income. His mother, Anna Regina Reuter, was a devout Lutheran and was responsible for the religious education of the household.
Kant was educated at an early age at a school called Collegium Fridericianum. It was one of the most prestigious schools in Königsberg and taught Luther and Classical Greek, as well as mathematics and history. The education he received there played an important role in shaping Kant’s interest in knowledge and thought.
In 1732, he left the Collegium Fridericianum to prepare to enter the University of Konigsberg. After entering university, he focused particularly on theology and philosophy. During this period, he was particularly interested in the philosophical works of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Christian Wolff and carefully studied their works. He was also interested in mathematics and natural sciences and studied these subjects in depth.
As Kant continued his studies at university, he was greatly influenced by his professors and peers. He was particularly influenced by the lectures of Martin Knutzen (an important mathematician and philosopher). Knutzen helped Kant deepen and develop his philosophical thinking.
Kant’s early life and education played a critical role in laying the foundations for his philosophical career. The philosophical and scientific knowledge he acquired, especially in his youth, influenced the formation of the fundamental works he wrote in his later years.
