The line from Kant to Hegel is intoxicating. Take care in mixing drinks.
I'm not sure which line you are referring to but I accept nothing from Kant. From the start he was a sophist.
Hegel presumed too much. If I am honest I recognize the fact that I do not have infinite memory. So how can I equate myself with God?
The question becomes, 'what can I know?' Kant presumes knowledge that precedes experience, something I can never know truly precedes experience. It is conjecture.
So what can I really know? What can I prove, if only to myself? What can I truly conclude, given what I can know?
