To-do list for Immanuel Kant: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2019-02-14 The section on freedom has nothing to do with Kant's proof of freedom in the second critique. This needs to be updated. Some discussion of Kant's Religion is needed in the sections on moral philosophy and on religion. It would be good to put a link to the actual article that Kant wrote in response to Berlin Academy's 1754 prize question. Its English translation can be found here. Regarding P. Frisi who won the prize, I believe he is Paolo Frisi, and he won the prize for his work De moto diurno terrae according to [1]. Details need to confirmed.

Kant's nationality[edit] Kant was a Prussian, not a German. Germany did not exist. Besides, his place of birth lies in Poland today. He was ethnically German. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810D:9540:E00:A12C:ED96:D2A6:8EEE (talk) 13:37, 5 November 2019 (UTC) Prussia was a state of Germany established in 1525. So it is a truer description to say he was German, rather than Prussian. This issue arises frequently on the talk page, and discussion always has concluded with leaving the text as it is. TonyClarke (talk) 14:51, 19 May 2019 (UTC) Prussia actually wasn't part of the kingdom of Germany/Holy Roman Empire. It was only ruled in personal union by the margraves of Brandenburg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810D:9540:E00:A12C:ED96:D2A6:8EEE (talk) 13:38, 5 November 2019 (UTC) Kants birthplace(the former Königsberg, now Kaliningrad) lies in Russia now not in Poland, but that does not mean that Kant was Russian. He was a German and Prussian Citizen. The State Germany does not exist before 1871 but there already was a German nation. For example: Luther wrote "An den christlichen Adel deutscher Nation" ("To the christian aristocracy of the German nation). Nobody would claim that Dante was no Italian poet just because he lived when there was no State "Italy".--Frances K. (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC) Overblown section on Influence[edit] I will add an NPOV to the section on Kant's influence: the very claim that all philosophy today rests on Kant is absolutely overblown and heavily biased towards contemporary trends in Analytic philosophy. Above all, very little reference is given for such bold claims. Please avoid dogmatizing on Kant's philosophy.144.173.242.118 (talk) 11:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC) Further to my previous, I would like to specify that the claims I signalled out above are overblown particularly with regards to Kant's assertions about the certainty of mathematical and physical knowledge, the very problematic conversion of formal into transcendetal logic, the denial of personal and pre-linguistic experience, the very existence of a transcendental subject. In conclusion, whoever will be rewriting the section on Kant's influence needs to come to grips with twentieth-century historiography on Kant. 144.173.242.118 (talk) 11:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC) His birth name was Emanuel Kant[edit] Kant’s birth name was “Emanuel Kant” and should be mentioned in the lede and the infobox.--LeftiePete (talk) 23:22, 11 December 2020 (UTC) That could be to sow confusion. "Immanuel" is how he is known. "Emanuel" early in the biog section seems enough. Errantius (talk) 23:40, 11 December 2020 (UTC) Why would there be any confusion? There are two separate given names. Articles about people typically mention in the lede if someone’s birth name was or is different to his or her known name.--LeftiePete (talk) 10:31, 12 December 2020 (UTC) They are just different spellings of the same name: Immanuel (name), Immanuel. Errantius (talk) 11:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC) Forgive me, I had a blonde moment.--LeftiePete (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC) Not a problem - and I see your good change to the text.
