The German Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was one of the most famous philosophers ever. In his "A Critique of Pure Reason," Kant criticizes pure reason as a guide to life. Though Kant may not have been a Christian himself, he considered Christian values to be the best values in the world. Kant also established a systematic basis for critical philosophy and suggested a material origin for the solar system. Kant's own suggestion for a moral daily life was this: don't do something which, if everyone did it, then the outcome would be bad. Expressed another way, an act is moral only if it works as a rule for everyone. For example, littering would be wrong because if everyone did it, then there would be an ugly mess. Kant is taught in all college philosophy departments to this day, though not for praising Christianity!
