They were both pioneers and forefathers of existentialist thought. They were both either students or studied Hegelian thought, revolted by his Objective Idealism, his idolatry of the state and collectivist downplaying of the individual citizen, to be owned and directed by the all powerful state.
They favored subjective epistemology and individual rights. They were contemporaries. I wondered if they heard of each other or studied each other. That might make an interesting book to research and write.
