The school of thought built on Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy, which holds that human understanding actively structures experience through a priori forms and concepts. Kant's approach sought to synthesize rationalism and empiricism, and to show that scientific knowledge, morality and religious belief all rest on a single foundation: human autonomy, exercised within the limits of possible experience rather than beyond them.
