Immanuel Kant
1724–1804 - German
Philosopher. Kant is considered by some to be the greatest philosopher, or at least European philosopher, who ever lived. In addition to pointing out that the reality we observe will always be shaped by our mind, he tried to place morals on a firm foundation of logic through his celebrated Categorical Imperative, which held that actions can only be justified if we wished everyone else to emulate them. A professor of fixed habits, he lived all his life in one city and devoted himself totally to scholarship and philosophy.
John Keble
1792–1866 - English
Anglican priest. He was associated with the Oxford Movement, which sought to move the Anglican Church in a "high church" direction, which meant closer to Roman Catholic doctrine and especially practise.
Helen Keller
1880–1968 - American
Writer and inspiration. She became a deaf-mute as a child, which meant that she could not be taught and lived in a wild isolation. A teacher, Anne Sullivan, succeeded in communicating with her, and both became world famous.
