Fichte, theorist of the "I" - The Philosophy Forum
Fichte himself thought that one position could not refute the other. Instead we are revealed by the leap of faith we take in regard to first principles. In my view, philosophy these days largely serves as rational religion. In that sense Fichte is a theologian, except that "critical" theology engulfs and becomes the God of pre-critical theology.
Clear distinction between Objective and Absolute Idealism
Could anyone clarify the distinction between Objective and Absolute Idealism? I need the main differential elements between the two philosophical points of view. Thanks in advance.
A post-metaphysical (mis-)reading of Fichte (irrationalism/egoism)
Yes, Fichte writes of faith, but clearly the supreme "spook" of ideal universal reason or Truth is not abandoned in order to go backwards toward a belief in ghosts and astrology. Reason demystified the world, cleansed it of threatening unknowns.
The Book that Broke the World: Hegel’s “Phenomenology of Spirit”
According to Walter Kaufmann, Johann Gottlieb Fichte introduced the so-called “Hegelian dialectic” and Friedrich Schelling popularized it; Hegel never once uses these terms at all: “Fichte introduced into German philosophy the three-step of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, using these three terms. Schelling took up this terminology.
Fichte, theorist of the "I" - The Philosophy Forum
Hi, gang. I'd like to start a conversation on Fichte by sharing a few quotes along with what I find of value in them. What I find here is the birth of the absolute "I." This absolute "I" is the product of abstraction. I'm especially interested in Fichte's motives, which is to say in the religious...
The integration of science and religion - The Philosophy Forum
This is certainly the problem Kant's main successors so as central to modern thought (e.g., Fichte, Schelling, Hegel). It shows up as a driving concern in a pretty diverse group of thinkers, from Kierkegaard, to Husserl, to Wittgenstein.
Difference between ego and the 'I' (das Ich) in Husserl's phenomenology?
I'm writing a paper on philosophical egology, and I kinda got stuck on Husserl. Up until then, especially in German Idealism, they use the terminology of the 'I', pure 'I', transcendental 'I' (in German 'Ich' and 'das Ich'), etc. Kant, Fichte, Max Stirner... even Freud doesn't use ego, but 'Das Ich und das Es', translated as 'The Ego and the Id'.
Is mathematics the empress of science? An article.
Something Fichte was very fond of saying, I believe. I've also been exploring similar themes through the perspective of phenomenology of biology, Evan Thompson and Hans Jonas. Quite a different topic to the essay in the OP however.
Nature of the Philosophical Project - The Philosophy Forum
What is the philosophical project? I read a lot of non-contemporary philosophy, and a lot of out outlier material, Mannheim, Scheler, Laszlo. I also frequently revisit seminal and great works, Whitehead, Bergson, Fichte, Aristotle, Marx. I try to cover as much ground as humanly possible...
Is factiality real? (On the Nature of Factual Properties)
— Bob Ross Because the concept of factiality is a difficult one to understand, since Meillassoux never explained what he means when he speaks of "the speculative essence" of such and such. The best we've got so far (the Meillassoux scholars, that is) is a connection to the "objective ideas" of Fichte, and perhaps Schelling, or maybe even Hegel.
