jan 1, 1781 - Immanuel Kant writes Critique of Pure Reason

Description:

In his doctrine of transcendental idealism, he argued that space, time and causation are mere sensibilities; "things-in-themselves" exist, but their nature is unknowable

In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant achieves a synthesis between rationalist and empiricist traditions. Rationalism: the idea that pure reason is capable of important knowledge | Empiricism: the idea that knowledge comes primarily from the experience.
