Kant was a 17th century German philosopher born in konigsberg. His philosophy can be split into his metaphysics and his ethics. In terms of metaphysics, Kantian epistemology states that knowledge is split into the noumenal world and phenomenal world. The noumenal world is based on what we know and what interpreted from our sense data. The phenomenal world is the world as it actually is beyond our sense data. We can never fully grasp this world.

Kantian ethics is a deontology form of ethics meaning he believes morality consists of following duty. We determine our duty by following a system of thought Kant calls ‘the categorical imperative’. Knowledge of the categorical imperative can be derived from our reason.

I'm sorry to say this but you got noumenal and phenomenal backwards, anon.
