Since §§40-52 of Hegel’s Encyclopaedia Logic constitutes a critique of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, this paper conducts a comparative analysis between these sections and the relevant passages in Kant’s work. It examines the key differences and divergent perspectives between the two philosophers, identifies certain instances where Hegel misreads Kant, and thereby arrives at a deeper understanding of their respective philosophical conceptions.
