Kant founded a new theory of knowledge, called transcendental idealism, and his philosophy as a whole founded criticism, the critical current of philosophical knowledge which aimed, as Kant wanted, to delimit the limits of human knowledge.

Kant's works have a rare erudition, unique literary style and unparalleled methodological and philosophical rigor. A professor at the University of Königsberg for nearly five decades, the professor and researcher has devoted himself to writing about Logic, Metaphysics, Theory of Knowledge and Ethics and Moral Philosophy.

The concept presented by the philosopher John Rawls about justice is a conception of justice as equity and with a slight content of seventeenth century contractualism, for Rawls the concept of justice as equity is an original position of equality that corresponds to the state of nature in the traditional theory of the social contract. These are the principles that free and rational people concerned with promoting their own interests would accept an initial position of equality as defining the fundamental terms of their association.
