He published three scientific works between 1754 and 1755, with Universal Natural History and

Notion of the Heavens (1755) being the most significant. In 1756, he tried to succeed Knutzen as
an associate professor of logic and metaphysics. Kant's Prize Essay (1762) offers his first
extensive exposition of moral philosophy in literature. He drew on British sources like David
Hume, Francis Hutcheson, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau for many of his ideas. His major work,
"The Only Possible Argument in Support of the Demonstration of God," was published in 1773.
Kant's early works are focused on leveraging British empiricist authors' ideas to reform or
expand the German rationalist tradition. The possibility of metaphysics was the subject of his
first paper, which he published in 1766. Some of his early writings tend to emphasize rationalist
concepts; others place a stronger focus on empiricist principles. Kant's fascination with Swedish
visionary Emanuel Swedenborg led him to write Dreams of a Spirit-Seer. In this essay, he
satirically contrasts spirit visions with the belief in an immaterial soul that lives on after death.
He argued that neither can be known philosophically because human reason is restricted to
experience.
His views on understanding and sensibility are that they are distinct cognitive abilities, with
space and time being arbitrary manifestations of human sensibility. The connection between
these two worlds is the "paradigm" of "moral perfection." Between 1770 and 1781, Kant
published nothing of note other than the Critique of Pure Reason. An Answer to the Question:
What Is Enlightenment? was one of the significant writings that Kant produced.

The idea of a universal history with a cosmopolitan aim is one of his other major works in
history philosophy. L. Reinhold's Letters on the Kantian Philosophy (1786) made Kant's moral
and religious ideas more well known. J. G. Fichte's first book, An Attempt at a Critique of All
Revelation (1792), was published anonymously and initially misunderstood as a work by Kant
himself.

After retiring from the university in 1800, he wrote a series of notes that posited the presence of
an ether or caloric matter. These writings reveal glaring indications of Kant's mental
deterioration, which precipitously began around 1800.
