[PAR] [TLE] Preformation theory [SEP] Preformation theory is a theistic epistemological theory that states that knowledge is possible only because God has endowed humans with certain innate ideas along with dispositions or aptitudes in certain ways.  This was recognized by Immanuel Kant as an alternative to his theory regarding the categories of understanding and their source. [PAR] [TLE] Immanuel Kant [SEP] Immanuel Kant ( ; ] ; 22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher who is a central figure in modern philosophy.  Kant argued that the human mind creates the structure of human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of our sensibility, and that the world as it is "in-itself" is independent of our concepts of it.  Kant took himself to have effected a "Copernican revolution" in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth.  His beliefs continue to have a major influence on contemporary philosophy, especially the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political theory, and aesthetics.
