Immanuel Kant
Kant published other important works on ethics, religion, law, aesthetics, astronomy, and history. These include the "Universal Natural History" (1755), the "Critique of Practical Reason" (1788), the "Metaphysics of Morals" (1797), and the "Critique of Judgment" (1790), which looks at aesthetics and teleology.
Benedict Stattler
Shortly after Adam Weishaupt had founded the secret society of the Illuminati, Stattler attacked them in an anonymous work (Das Geheimniß der Bosheit des Stifters des Illuminatismus in Baiern). Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" appeared in its first edition in 1781; in 1788 Stattler launched his "Anti-Kant", and parried the attack which his book provoked in the literary world of Germany.
