Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy [comments](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel/#PheSpi) "Traditional readers of Hegel thus see the _Phenomenology_’s _telos_ as attesting to Hegel’s pre-Kantian (that is, pre-critical) outlook, and his embrace of the metaphysical project that Kant famously came to dismiss as illusory. Supporters of the _post-Kantian_ interpretation of Hegel obviously interpret this work and its _telos_ differently."
