Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, 1812
Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, 1812. Profile portrait surrounded by an Ouroboros, an ancient Egyptian-Greek symbolic serpent with its tail in its mouth devouring itself, representing the unity of the material and spiritual in the eternal circle of change and recreation. Kant (1724-1804) became professor of logic and metaphysics at the University of Konigsberg, Germany in 1770. His most famous work was his Critique of Pure Reason, published in 1781, which provided a response to the empiricism of David Hume. Other works included the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), and Critique of Judgment (1790). Kant is regarded as one of the great European philosophers, and his ideas have considerably influenced later thinkers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Immanuel Kant, the renowned German philosopher, in 1812. The profile portrait of Kant is surrounded by an Ouroboros, a symbolic serpent from ancient Egyptian-Greek mythology. This mythical creature represents the unity between the material and spiritual realms within the eternal cycle of change and recreation. Kant's intellectual prowess is highlighted through his notable achievements. He served as a professor of logic and metaphysics at the University of Konigsberg in Germany starting from 1770. His groundbreaking work, "Critique of Pure Reason" published in 1781, provided a compelling response to David Hume's empiricism. The influence of Kant's ideas on later thinkers cannot be overstated; he is regarded as one of Europe's greatest philosophers. In addition to his seminal work on pure reason, Kant also delved into practical reason with his "Critique of Practical Reason" (1788) and explored aesthetic judgment in his "Critique of Judgment" (1790). Immanuel Kant's portrait exudes wisdom and depth as he gazes into eternity. This print serves as a testament to his significant contributions to philosophy during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It captures both the essence of this influential figure and symbolizes timeless concepts such as change, unity, and spirituality.
