2. Immanuel Kant was an influential German philosopher in the Age of Enlightenment. In his doctrine of transcendental  idealism, he argued that space, time, and causation are mere sensibilities, “things-in-themselves” exist, but their nature is unknowable. he argues that in that time to replace religious authority with the authority of reason. Immanuel also believed that we would treat each other as we would like to be treated that when you look at a person you see that you see your self in him because you are both humans with a common goal which is to be happy.
3. Immanuel Kant’s epistemology combines the knowledge we gain from experience and the knowledge we gain from Reason.
4. it’s hard to predict what he would say about Covid-19 , but I would say he would want us to be into public events or parties since he was a really social person and that the people who are not as healthy, young or have a big risk of dying from the disease to stay in quarantine.

Died: March 6, 1982
From St Petersburg, Russia
2.  Developed philosophical system called Objectivism
3. Known for best selling novels "The Fountainhead" and " Atlas Shrugged" , we should know about her because she was kind of a political nut but also claims she created the entire philosophy all on her own while being lightly influenced by only Aristotle. Her basic philosophy about the world is that it is beyond our control and at times even our understanding. From where she stands, epistemology is a joke as she says that truths in knowledge exist independent of human knowledge.
4. She would say that this would be the time to do things that make us better, and if we needed to go out then we should. Her whole schtick is on the importance of selfishness and how it is the way we should all run our lives.
