The Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard, referred to Hegelianism as "this brilliant spirit of putridity" and the "most repugnant of all forms of looseness"
and speaks of its "mildew of
pomposity." Kierkegaard wrote:
"There were philosophers who tried before Hegel to explain...history. And providence could only smile when it saw these attempts. But providence did not laugh outright, for there was a human, honest sincerity about them. But Hegel! Here I need Homer's language. How did the gods roar with laughter! Such a horrid little professor who has simply seen through the necessity of anything and everything there is, and who now plays the whole affair on his barrel organ: listen, ye gods of Olympus."
(Karl Popper - The Open Society & Its Enemies).
