Well, I don't know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I'm no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much. Roger Penrose

Kant and Hegel are interesting thinkers. But I am happy to insist that they are also terrible writers. Alain de Botton
Indeed the three prophecies about the death of individual art are, in their different ways, those of Hegel, Marx, and Freud. I don't see any way of getting beyond those prophecies. Harold Bloom
