Question

Explain the main idea of Kant’s Copernican revolution in

philosophy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

This ideas is called Kant's Copernican Revolution, because like Nicolaus Copernicus' (1473-1543) who turned astronomy inside-out by hypothesizing that the earth moved around the sun (instead of the other way round), Kant turned epistemology inside-out by theorizing that objective reality depends on the mind

The philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is sometimes called the “Copernican revolution of philosophy” to emphasize its novelty and huge importance. ... After Kant, no discussion of reality or knowledge could take place without awareness of the role of the human mind in constructing reality and knowledge.
