Immanuel Kant, one of the most brilliant minds of the XVIII century and of western philosophy, suffered from dementia in his late years. Based on the analysis of testimonies of his close friends, in this report we describe his neurological disorder which, after 8 years of evolution, led to his death. His cognitive decline was strongly associated with a parasomnia compatible with a severe rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (RBD) and dementia with Lewy bodies.

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) remains one of the most outstanding figures of western philosophy and arguably one of the most brilliant minds of the XVIII century. But little is known about his life or the details of the disease that led to his death at the age of 79. One analysis of the possible etiology of Kant’s disorder has suggested that it was caused by an Alzheimer-type dementia [1], and another, published with little elaboration in a chapter of a book by Guard and Boller [2], concurs with the authors’ view. Based on the analysis of written materials from one of Kant’s close friends, we add basis to this alternative diagnosis, emphasizing his sleep disturbance which suggests a probable rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (RBD).
