How did Kant's critical method change philosophy?
My critical method, primarily articulated in the *Critique of Pure Reason*, involved a 'Copernican Revolution' in philosophy. Instead of assuming that our knowledge must conform to objects, I proposed that objects must conform to our cognition. I investigated the a priori structures of the mind – categories like causality and space and time – that make experience possible. This allowed me to delineate the boundaries of what we can know, thus resolving many metaphysical disputes and establishing the conditions for scientific knowledge.
