Philosophy in modern age has begun with rationalists. The theory of innate ideas, their foundation of epistemology, was introduced by Descartes and developed by the other rationalists as Spinoza and Leibniz. This theory then was attributed to Kant and he was assumed as an innativist.This paper is trying to prove that Kant is not innativist and is going on a different path in western tradition.The theory of innate ideas is a starting point for Kant to introduce new perspectives in west thinking.
