A question about Of
Hegel was the culmination of the movement in German philosophy that started from Kant; although he of criticized Kant, his system could never have arisen if Kant's had not existed.…… Even if (as I myself believe) almost all Hegel's doctrines are false, he still retains an importance which is not n\merely historical, as the best representative of a certain kind of philosophy which, in others, is less coherent and less comprehensive. ——Bertrand Russell "The History of Western Philosophy"
Why there is an of between he and criticized? Is it OK to say "Although he criticized Kant, his system could never have arisen if Kant's had not existed" ?

It's a mistake, a typo. The word should probably be 'often'.

Clive is right. I found the text on Google Books, and that word is indeed "often."
