1. Kant led a reaction to the deterministic thinking that gathered force
from the early triumphs of science. The reaction became the 'romantic
movement' which developed at the end of the 18th Century.
2. Kant argued that there were two aspects to reality: one was the world
as it appeared to observation and entered into thought, the other was
the world as it really was, independently of any conceptual framework
of an observer. In observing and thinking about the world, human beings
apply categorization.
