In 1740, Kant began his formal education at the University of Königsberg as a theology student. However, his interests soon shifted towards mathematics and physics, demonstrating his early inclination towards the sciences. In 1746, following the death of his father, Kant faced financial hardships and took on the role of a private tutor for wealthy families, which he did for nearly a decade. During this period, he also published several scientific papers that examined the interplay between rationalism and empiricism, showcasing the beginnings of his philosophical inquiry and establishing his intellectual foundation.
