I just read the current wikipedia article on Hegel.

I think it has recently swung, or been massively rewritten, to follow

the faction in Hegel scholarship that sees Hegel as a major spiritual

successor to Kant---following Pinkard, Pippin, and Karen Ng

This particular view of Hegel is not uncontroversial. I do not think

that the article properly reflects what I think is the true nature of

Hegel's philosophy; which I believe stems from Aristotle and Spinoza,

and not, really, in any fundamental way, the philosophy of Kant.

Just a little heads up for those interested in reading Hegel.

Some great scholarship that /i/ agree with are the following secondary
