Full Idea
In a certain sense, Kant's influence was detrimental; for the belief in metaphysics has been lost.
Gist of Idea
Kant has undermined our belief in metaphysics
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1872-74 [1873], 19 [028])

A Reaction
As I understand it, there are two interpretations of Kant, one of which is fairly thoroughly anti-metaphysical, and another which is less so. Also one path leads to idealism and the other doesn't, but I need to research that.
