In Fuller’s words

“We have been compelled to offer these remarks on Kant's philosophy; but it is right to add that they are the result of only very limited acquaintance with the subject. [...] We may reject this Kantian system, perhaps with reason but it ought to be on other grounds than are yet before us.”
Journal 1833–1842

Inferred Kant is named repeatedly in the Schiller/Idealism section but no specific work title is given; the discussion broadly addresses his critical philosophy. Kant is named repeatedly (pp. 26–31) as the philosophical backdrop against which Schiller's aesthetic project is developed.
