Robert Pippin, amongst others, has claimed that “many references to Kant’s critical idealism are indispensable for a proper understanding of Hegel’s positions,” for Hegel “is committing himself to the necessity of nonempirically derived ... conditions for the intelligible experience of any object.” Following Pippin’s suggestion, the question arises as to what extent Hegel’s philosophy ought to be aligned to positive claims of transcendental idealism, for it is surely not the case that Hegel’s relation to Kant can be expressed solely in negative terms.
