Immanuel Kant, who was baptized Emanuel, was a philosopher born April 22, 1724 and died at age 79. He was born in Prussia, now called Russia, and had ten siblings. He never traveled far from home and was an excellent scholar. He went to college, was a teacher, and influenced many philosophers including Fichte and Hegel. He never married but was outgoing and personable. Even when his father died he was a private tutor to earn money for his family. He excelled in science and math.
