Kants early life
Immanuel Kant was born in 1724 in the town of Knigsberg near the eastern coast of the Baltic. A thriving centre of international trade, Knigsberg was then part of the young kingdom of Prussia, which was just beginning its long competition with Austria to become the leading German-speaking nation. The town has now changed its name to Kaliningrad and sits in an enclave of the Russian federation, rarely visited by foreigners except when Russia is hosting the World Cup.
Kants father was a master harness maker, prominent in the local guild. He brought up the young Immanuel as a Lutheran. Among Luthers main doctrines were that the human race was so corrupt by nature that it was impossible for a human being to keep all the commandments of God; and that it was only through faith in the merits of Jesus that a human being could be saved by the grace of God. The first of these doctrines, but not the second, remained a lifelong strand in Kants thought.
The Kant family belonged to a distinctively devout group of Lutherans known as Pietists. In later life Immanuel acknowledged a debt to the seriousness of the moral education he had received at home, though he disliked the introverted religiosity of the Pietist school to which he was sent.
During the years when Kant was at school two events stand out. In 1737 his mother died at the age of 40, having caught smallpox while on an errand of mercy to a sick friend. Three years later King Frederick William I of Prussia died, leaving the throne to his son, the future Frederick the Great. The new king was a paragon of enlightenment in the study and a ruthless aggressor on the battlefield. It was during his 46-year reign that Kants major works were written.
