I do not know if RSRH would or would not have something against using 
Kant or Schiller to explain something in the Torah. Can you provide 
an example of where RSRH does this?  I do not recall seeing such a 
thing anywhere, but this does not mean that he did not do this.

RSRH refers many times to science when explaining things, but this to 
me is different than mentioning a specific person and his views on things.
