Plato’s Theory of Knowledge What appears to be so to me is true for me‚ and what appears to be so to you is true for you. It follows that everyone’s perceptions are equally true.

Summary Immanuel Kant - “The moral law” First‚ Kant presupposes that there is a moral law. That is‚ there exists some basis for morality beyond subjective description of it.
