Full Idea
The Kantian view of what is important is that people should give moral considerations the highest deliberative priority, which Hegel attacked because it gives moral thought no content.
Gist of Idea

A Reaction
Interesting. This points towards empathy and compassion as motivators, rather than reason, because there is some content to the morality, which calls out to us.
