The keystone of Kants philosophy, sometimes called critical philosophy, is contained in his Critique of Pure Reason , in which he examined the bases of human knowledge and created an individual epistemology. Like earlier philosophers, Kant differentiated modes of thinking into analytic and synthetic propositions. An analytic proposition is one in which the predicate is contained in the subject, as in the statement Black houses are houses. The truth of this type of proposition is evident, because to state the reverse would be to make the proposition self-contradictory. Such propositions are called analytic because truth is discovered by the analysis of the concept itself. Synthetic propositions, on the other hand, are those that cannot be arrived at by pure analysis, as in the statement The house is black. All the common propositions that result from experience of the world are synthetic.

伊曼纽康德被许多人认为是现代最伟大的哲学家。康德的生平听上去是对他这位象牙塔里的知识分子一生的戏称。
他出生在普鲁士的柯尼希斯伯格,16 岁的时候进入大学,在这里教书直到73 岁,除了在这个城市40 英里的范围内走动外,一生从未出过远门。他不到5 英尺高,胸部凹陷,过着单身汉的生活,一生不变,据说这是为了保存他那脆弱的健康状况。
