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.
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...
Parallels between Kant's, Fichte's and Husserl's concept of the I or ...
As the title says, can someone explain the difference and similarities between Kant's, Fichte's, and Husserl's concept of the I or ego? Be it pure I, empirical I, or transcendental I. Or perhaps point to some literature.
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...
Marxist concept of “withering away of the state”
The idea of the disappearance of the State arises as an ideal in Kant (as a cosmopolitan society) and explicitly in Fichte. Every state that serves what it claims to serve ends in the suppression of the state.
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'.
Necessity for Longevity in Metaphysical Knowledge
If one’s life goal is to understand these ultimate questions and their solutions, should they first focus on longevity in order to wait for humanity to develop the necessary technology, philosophy, or language? The reason one might avoid directly researching these topics themselves is that the risk of accidental death remains high, and individual contributions to cutting-edge research are ...
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.
Aristotle and Idealism - The Philosophy Forum
The problem I invariably find with Kant, Fichte, Schelling, et al, is the enormously complicated and voluminous nature of their works. I am very much a Kant fan, and also have a lot of time for Schopenhauer, but as when you get into the intricacies of later German idealism, the whole thing tends to collapse under the weight of its own verbiage.
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.
