Kant was not from Germany, but from Prussia.
He was from Konigsburg, which was in Prussia during his life and it
lies, now between Poland and Lithuania.

Oh ya, forgot, thanx.

Rather than straying into a discussion of the many implications of the
hierarchical relations in Kant's System, we could now identify Kant as
a Westerner with some distinctively "Chinese" characteristics and
tendencies, lending qualified approval to Nietzsche's reference to
Kant as the "Chinaman of Konigsberg". Clearly, we have not found
enough evidence to merit the conclusion that Kant had a Chinese
personality in any overly literal sense. His influence on Western
thought and culture has been far too strong to make that plausible.
But we have sufficient reason to conclude that Kant stood on the
borderline between these two ideals: something of a synthesis of the
generalized, and perhaps to some extent fictional, conceptions of the
typical "Chinese" and "Western" personality types.
