“Kant's great achievement was to conclude finally the lines on which philosophical speculation
had proceeded in the eighteenth century, and to open up a new and more comprehensive
system of dealing with the problems of philosophy... The influence of Kant is paramount in
the critical method of modern philosophy. No other thinker has been able to hold with such
firmness the balance between speculative and empirical ideas. His penetrating analysis of the
elements involved in synthesis, and the subjective process by which these elements are realized in
the individual consciousness, demonstrated the operation of "pure reason"; and the simplicity
and cogency of his arguments achieved immediate fame. Kant's achievements in other branches
of philosophy were equally distinguished and fruitful... His methods... dominated western
philosophical thought throughout the nineteenth century, as they do today” (PMM).
