One of the most important and most challenging philosophers of modern Europe, Immanuel Kant (April 22, 1724 - February 12, 1804) was the father of German Idealism in his lifetime and a lasting influence on philosophy and western thought to this day. He acquired this status among his peers even though he had never left his hometown, Konigsberg, during his lifetime. Among the "big name" philosophers directly influenced by him are Arthur Schopenhauer, John Rawls, Bertrand Russell, and Georg Hegel. Even outside philosophy, political science and cognitive science continue to address many of his points.
