Hegel was the last of the great system builders of Western philosophy and the greatest and most extravagant representative of the school of absolute idealism.

Bradley, spurred the development of existentialism beginning with Søren Kierkegaard, and was adapted in part in the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx.
