	Johann Gottlieb Fichte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		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.

	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.
		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.
		Nowadays, however, Fichte is studied more and more for his own sake, in particular for his theory of subjectivity, i.e., the theory of the self-positing I, which is rightly seen as a sophisticated elaboration of Kant's claim that finite rational beings are to be interpreted in theoretical and practical terms.

	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'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.

	Johann Gottlieb Fichte
		Fichte had always had a lively interest in pedagogical issues and assumed a leading role in planning the new Prussian university to be established in Berlin (though his own detailed plans for the same were eventually rejected in favor of those put forward by Wilhelm von Humboldt).
		Central to this "spirit," for Fichte, is an uncompromising insistence upon the practical certainty of human freedom and a thoroughgoing commitment to the task of providing a transcendental account of ordinary experience that could explain the objectivity and necessity of theoretical reason (cognition) in a manner consistent with the practical affirmation of human liberty.
		Fichte's concept of right therefore obtains its binding force not from the ethical law, but rather from the general laws of thinking and from enlightened self-interest, and the force of such considerations is hypothetical rather than categorical.

	Fichte, Johann Gottlieb. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		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.

	The Philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte
		Johann Gottlieb Fichte (picture) was born at Rammenau in Upper Lusatia in 1762.
		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 became a victim of this war, for Johanna Fichte was working as a nurse at the military hospital and contracted an infectious disease from soldiers who were patients there.
		Fichte contended that what Kant had accomplished by Transcendental Idealism was to reverse the philosophical "common sense" orientation such that our thought or understanding (reason) is the source of the universal and necessary validity of knowledge, and not the knowledge's relatedness to nature (the external world).
		Fichte thought that what Kant intended to accomplish in his philosophy was the unfinished business and Fichte's task was, so he conceived, to radicalize Kant's position and complete his intention by eliminating the dogmatic elements.

		Fichte was reported as saying in class that in a few decades no monarchs may be left anywhere in Europe, and that an age of democratic self-government may usher in a new phase of Western civilization.
		Fichte does not mean to exclude such disciplines from what he calls "scholarship," however, as little as he excludes what today would be referred to as the natural and social sciences.
		Fichte’s emphasis of a unifying purpose of all academic endeavors may raise fears that scholarship and the institutions of higher learning may become unduly supervised and regimented, that academic freedom may become a casualty in such a system.

		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.

		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.

		The theoretical writings from Johann Gottlieb Fichte's short tenure at Jena (1794-99) are among the most difficult and influential works of classical German philosophy.
		Fichte's appropriation of Kant's transcendental project not only established the framework for the subsequent idealist tradition (Schelling, Hölderlin, Hegel), but also introduced philosophical themes and strategies that would dominate the Continental tradition well into the twentieth century.
		In its attempt to explore the limits of naturalistic accounts of human subjectivity and its articulation of the practical foundations of human representational capacities, Fichte's Jena project is of direct relevance to contemporary debates in both analytic and continental philosophy.
