Creates the categorical imperative and the transcendental idealism — Kant's argument (that we should act only according to maxims we could universalize as laws for all rational beings) is the most rigorous deontological ethical framework; his transcendental idealism (that space and time are forms of intuition not features of things-in-themselves) restructured metaphysics.
