  Johann Gottlieb Fichte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (May 19, 1762 - January 27, 1814) was a German philosopher, who has significance in the history of Western philosophy as one of the leading progenitors of German idealism and as a follower of Immanuel Kant.
Fichte did not endorse Kant's argument for the existence of noumena, of "things as they are", not just as they are perceived through the categories of human reason.
Fichte saw the rigorous and systematic separation of "things as they are" (noumena) and things "as they appear to be" (phenomena) as an invitation to skepticism.

Fichte, while accepting the call, desired to spend a year in preparation; but as this was deemed inexpedient he rapidly drew out for his students an introductory outline of his system, and began his lectures in May 1794.
The diasters of Prussia in 1806 drove Fichte from Berlin.
Even in the practical sphere, however, Fichte found that the contradiction, insoluble to cognition, was not completely suppressed, and he was thus driven to the higher view, which is explicitly stated in the later writings though not, it must be confessed, with the precision and scientific clearness of the Wissenschaftslehre.

 Fichte's Science of Knowledge
Fichte explains that the Science of Knowledge begins with the self as a direct intuition, and that it ends with the self as an idea.
Fichte notes that his philosophy of existence differs from that of Descartes, whose famous dictum, "cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") asserted that to think is to exist.
Fichte says that insofar as the self is conscious of the non-self, the self is not conscious of itself.

Fichtes general rs on philosophy seem to have changed considerably as he tnced in years, and his influence has been impaired by certain nsistencies and an appearance of eclecticism, which is igthened by his predominantly historical treatment of dems, his desire to include divergent systems within his own, his conciliatory tone.
Fichte, iort, advocates an ethical theism, and his arguments might.y be turned to account by the apologist of Christianity.
Fichte sent his essay to Kant, who approved it highly, extended to the author a warm reception, and exerted his influence to procure a publisher.

 Johann Gottlieb Fichte [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Johann Gottlieb Fichte is one of the major figures in German philosophy in the period between Kant and Hegel.
Fichte was born on May 19, 1762 to a family of ribbon makers.
In fact, Fichte's passion for the education of society as a whole should be seen as a necessary consequence of his philosophical system, which continues the Kantian tradition of placing philosophy in the service of enlightenment, i.e., the eventual liberation of mankind from its self-imposed immaturity.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte (May 19, 1762 - January 27, 1814) has significant importance as one of the progenitors of German idealism and as a follower of Kant.
Fichte believed that Kant was mistaken to argue for the existence of noumena, of things as they are, not just as they are perceived through the categories of human reason.
This notion eventually becomes the defining characteristic of German Idealism and is thus essential to understanding the philosophy of Hegel, and Arthur Schopenhauer, though they both reject Fichte's notion that human consciousness is itself sufficient ground for experience, and therefore postulate another "absolute" consciousness.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fichte apparently always regarded the practical as the foundation of the theoretical, so that his earlier procedure is not to be understood as founding the practical on the theoretical but, on the contrary, as a regressive method, moving from what is grounded back toward the ground.
Fichte argues for the necessity of a series of such contracts as transcendental conditions for the possibility of a relation of right -- which, in turn, as we have seen, is regarded as a condition for the possibility of a relation of community or mutual recognition between free beings.
Fichte still maintains that the state is a temporary institution in human affairs, that "the law of right has application only insofar as the moral law does not reign universally, and as a preparation for the dominion of the latter" (SW 10:502).

 Peter Suber, "Fichte's Ad Hominem Arguments"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fichte's second argument against argument is that the free self posited by the idealist must be recognized or appropriated as oneself, by oneself, not demonstrated by argument.
Fichte's diagnosis of realists from their choice of realism suggests that "the type of man one is" is determined before the choice and explains the choices we make.
Fichte may also be inconsistent in holding realists to be free enough to choose at the primordial disjunction and unfree enough to be blind to their freedom and to be enslaved to pernicious character flaws.

 ACJ Article: Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Free Speech Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fichte warned that people should not be "deceived by the shallow and superficial thoughts which are in circulation."11 Some of Fichte's ideas were a reflection of his successor Kant's ideas and the ideas of the phenomenon of Enlightenment—that people become enlightened when reflecting on issues rather than accepting easy answers from others.
Fichte stated, "the conception of Rights involves that when men are to live in a community, each must so restrict his freedom as to permit the coexistence of the freedom of all others."16 Fichte fought to reform education to reflect these ideas of rights and advocated living together peacefully in one community.
Fichte criticized this impromptu form of discussion and debate (even though he was once a participant in them) because he would rather people speak publicly after they have carefully reflected on their ideas--in order to contribute to the conversation, rather than speak blindly and possibly mislead with false information.

Fichte emphasised the importance of "practical" philosophy, concerned with the state, law, morality, for which the "science of science", i.e.
Fichte opposed Kant's notion of "thing-in-itself" beyond Reason, and placing the Ego at the centre of his philosophy, sought instead to deduce all forms of knowledge by direct, subjective contemplation of things with the mind.
Fichte set the task as creating a Doctrine of Knowledge which would be one-and-the-same for all individuals and all activities of thought.

 The Philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Fichte thus abolishes Kant's dualism of subject and object, of form and matter, of thought and being.
Nor was that all, for Fichte advanced practical reasons demanding that being (the object) be reduced to the status of a construction (ideated effect) of the thinking subject.
Fichte rejects this dualism, and bases his teaching on Kant's doctrine of the primacy of practical reason.

Fichte’s dialectic idealism attempted unification of the theoretical and practical aspects of cognition that had been set apart by Kant.
Fichte’s philosophy had considerable influence in his day, but later he was remembered more as a patriot and liberal.
Although he was in political disrepute in his own day and after the reaction of 1815, he became a hero not only to the revolutionaries of 1848 but also to the conservatives of 1871.

One of the tasks of Fichte’s popular writings, especially the three texts published in 1806, was precisely to address this problem and to provide the larger public with some general idea, however inadequate from a strictly ‘scientific’ point of view, of the essence and character of his philosophy as he now understood it.
Wissenschaftslehre, but is Fichte’s effort, especially in Lecture 6, to assimilate the standpoint of his philosophy to that of ‘true religion’: more specifically, to show that the implications of his philosophy with respect to human ‘blessedness’ are consistent with the doctrines of the ‘gospel of love’ that he associates with Johannine Christianity.
For Fichte, action without knowledge is not ‘action’ at all, and knowledge that does not lead to action and that fails to impose upon its possessors the duty to do all they can to improve the world in which they find themselves is ‘knowledge’ that is unworthy of the name.

Daniel Breazeale, the renowned Fichte scholar, has written an introduction for the reprint edition that places these writings, especially the ones from Fichte's Berlin period found in the second volume, in the context of his overall project, the so-called Wissenschaftslehre.
William Smith was an able translator of Fichte's writings, and so readers of these two volumes need not worry about the fact that the texts contained in them appeared a century and a half ago.
This fact alone gives Fichte's growing number of devotees reason to be grateful to Thoemmes Press for the work that it has done in reprinting these books.
