not really, K responds to Hegel but not extensively.

Most of his most famous works don't touch on Hegel at all

Ask /pol/:

>The Jew's are another Hegelian dialectic.
>I'd rather not be a pawn and get dragged into some Hegelian Dialectic race war bullshit which (((they))) are so clearly orchestrating.
>Until you realize they are the sole force behind the Great Depression, WWI, WWII, and soon to be WWIII. They are misguided fools—but they are tremendously powerful. They believe in achieving one world government through Hegelian Dialectic, which in short is—create so much conflict that the pain of separation exceeds the pain of unity.
>This is the hegelian dialectic, Judea's most powerful and efficient weapon. A weapon that plays on the insecurities and fear of the masses that are too afraid or lazy to band together and fight.
>Talk about advance Jewish mind control (aka Hegelian Dialectic)
>Hegelian dialectic is simple. Create a problem, with the solution ready to go when people are desperate.

A nutter who, embarrassingly enough, rejected species evolution in a footnote and thought he could prove the existence of 7 planets a priori.

I'm continually amazed to see how many of you expect to find intelligence in books by long-dead guys who mostly babbled?
