What type of deformity did Immanuel Kant have?

Question

Why is it that every image of him depicts a neck that's too short, and hunchback? Are there any documented references of any disorder he may have had that caused him to look the way he did?

Answer 1

He was already born pretty frail. He and his parents were also broke his whole life too. You're talking about his spinal deformity. He had that from birth. Also he had Alzheimers Disease as an old man. And he still kicks the sh** outa most german philosophers.
