Abstract
Kant's philosophy is said to have the uniqueness and superiority which gave innovation to the European philosophy. On the other hand, in recent years, empirical research has begun in Europe, the United States, and Japan on the comparison with philosophy that precedes Kant and influence to him. As is well known, Leibniz and Wolf had a first-class knowledge of Chinese philosophical information from the age of reason to the age of enlightenment. If so, it is possible that Eastern thought had a particular influence on Kant after that generation, or that he would show his opposition to them. In this presentation, I analyzed the translations of Confucian classics introduced before Kant and examined whether they had any influence on him.
