Absolutely

Satan did a lot of things in Paradise Lost, but he didn't write a manifesto like in the Urantia book. The whole thing is amazing.

>romanticism
via his 2nd and 3rd critiques (particularly the third) which postulated an underlying ground - practical Reason - as a substrate which manifests nature purposively in reason but mechanically in appearance. His ideas of beauty here as our recognition of this purposiveness, and the other side of the coin in art, influenced the holistic nature of romanticism. What were essentially euphemisms in Kant became explicit in Fichte, inspiring Holderlin, Schiller, Novalis, etc.

>marxism, critical theory
This is via Hegel and Schelling. Hegel's philosophy was made possible by Kant and his inverted world but Hegel was not a Kantian. Late Schelling has Kantian sympathies, and his critiques of Hegel lead, by way of Kierkegaard, Feuerbach, etc, to Marx
