How Kant’s epistemology synthesizes Rationalism and Empiricism

Briefly explain how Kant’s epistemology synthesizes Rationalism and Empiricism and how it leads to further challenges to universalism. - Kant supports some ideas of Rationalism and Empiricism but also disapproves of some of their notions. What ideas did he support/reject? What makes Kant’s philosophy different from Rationalism/Empiricism? And how does it lead to further challenges to universalism? How does it relate to German idealism/Nationalism/Romanticism? -Kant's philosophy has been called a synthesis of rationalism and empiricism. From rationalism he takes the idea that we can have a priori knowledge of significant truths, but rejects the idea that we can have a priori metaphysical knowledge about the nature of things in themselves, God, or the soul. From empiricism he takes the idea that knowledge is essentially knowledge of experience, but rejects the idea that we cannot learn any necessary truths about experience, and in doing so he rejects Hume's skepticism.
