immanuel kant's source of info on other countries??

Question

Since Kant didn't travel very far, how did he obtain information on other countries and their people? Did he have someone working for him or did he just make up information on other cultures? Also could you please provide a link to your source.

Answer 1

while he didnt travel, he was well educated, and also i am sure influenced by both his educators, his readings, and those who came to visit with him
at the same time, i dont know if he would of had that much interest in other countries, nor the individuality of them or their citizens, as he seemed to feel all people were similar, with similar things that motivated them, they were the same at the core, so to speak,
