21460	Only Kant and Hegel have united nature, morals, politics, aesthetics and religion [Gardner]
	Full Idea: Apart from Hegel, no later philosophical system equals in stature Kant's attempt to weld together the diverse fields of natural science, morality, politics, aesthetics and religion into a systematic overarching epistemological and metaphysical unity.
	From: Sebastian Gardner (Kant and the Critique of Pure Reason [1999], 10)
	A reaction: Earlier candidate are Plato and Aristotle. Earlier Enlightenment figures say little about morality or aesthetics. Hobbes ranges widely. Aquinas covered most things.
