Rarely does a present-day philosopher of natural science make reference to, let alone engage with, the views of Kant and Hegel.  This paper claims that such a connection exists and is relevant. I will illuminate the playing field by running parallels with the topical issue of the foundations of physics, the specifications for quantum mechanical systems. The discussion will touch upon some technical aspects of properties of such systems. I will strive not to lose the reader in the field-specific jargon.
