> I meant Wittgenstein, not Kant

I think Kant would have been another justifiable example. I found Bertrand Russell's commentary on Kant to be apt:

"Hume, with his criticism of the concept of causality, awakened him from his dogmatic slumbers--so at least he says, but the awakening was only temporary, and he soon invented a soporific which enabled him to sleep again."

He may well be, I just don't know that much about him.
