No, I don’t think that whether Hegel was a fraud has any relevance to whether he belongs in the reference class “Great thinkers in philosophy”. Whether “Great thinkers in philosophy” are frauds is relevant to whether we should revere them, which is the topic of Stove’s article, not my dispute with MichaelVassar.
