Immanuel Kant Born in Konigsberg
April 22, 1724
In a Prussian port city he would never leave, a harness-maker's son was born into a Pietist household and named Emanuel. He would shift the I to a K as an adult, never marry, never travel, keep to walks so punctual neighbors set their clocks by them, and reinvent philosophy from his study.
