The great power with which Kant placed his weight upon the philosophical movement of his time lies perhaps more in the incomparable expansion of the intellectual horizon and in the certainty with which he was able to see everywhere, from his own perspective, the near and the far in their proper relation.

There is no problem of modern philosophy that he could not address, none that, even if he only touched upon it occasionally, he would not be able to imprint upon its solution the unique stamp of his spirit. However, this universality is merely the external outline and not yet the core of his greatness; this lies primarily in the admirable energy with which he could systematically penetrate the multitude of thoughts and process them.

Length and depth have within his mind the same wonderful magnitude; his gaze embraces to such a degree the great attention of the world of human representations, with as much power as it penetrates to every point down to the ultimate depths of this world. In this pairing of qualities that rarely unite lies the charm that both the personality and works of Kant had and continue to have, which will always secure him a leading position among philosophers.
