	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.

	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.

	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.

	Johann Gottlieb Fichte
		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.
		In an effort to clarify the task and method of transcendental philosophy, Fichte insisted upon the sharp distinction between the "standpoint" of natural consciousness (which it is the task of philosophy to "derive," and hence to "explain") and that of transcendental reflection, which is the standpoint required of the philosopher.
		The specific task of Fichte's ethics is therefore, first of all, to deduce the categorical imperative (in its distinctively moral sense) from the general obligation to determine oneself freely, and, second, to deduce from this the particular obligations that apply to every free and finite rational being.

		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.

		Image:Johann Gottlieb Fichte.jpg 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, forming a bridge between Immanuel Kant and the leading figure of German Idealism, G.W.F. Hegel.
		Fichte saw the rigorous and systematic separation of "things in themselves" (noumena) and things "as they appear to us" (phenomena) as an invitation to skepticism.
		Fichte died of typhus at the age of fifty-two.

	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).
		The popular picture of Fichte's attitude toward nature, namely, that he viewed the latter almost entirely from the perspective of human projects, that is, as the necessary realm for moral striving, is therefore very close to the truth.
		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.

		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 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.
		Nevertheless, Fichte aimed to establish a doctrine of knowledge which would be comprehensive and free of contradictions, describing the general laws of the movement of thought-forms.

		Even in the practical sphere, however, Fichte found that the contra-diction, 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.
		Not that it is a natural history, or even a phenomenology of consciousness; only in the later writings did Fichte adopt even the genetic method of exposition; it is the complete statement of the pure principles of the understanding in their rational or necessary order.
		The method which Fichte first adopted for stating these axioms is not calculated to throw full light upon them, and tends to exaggerate the apparent airiness and unsubstantiality of his deduction.

		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.

		Johann Fichte was born as a son of a very poor ribbon weaver in the village called Rammenau in Sachsen (Saxony in Eastern Germany).
		Johann Fichte argues that the moral order in the world is the most certain proof for the existence of God: The very moral order which is fully active and effective in us is no other than the proof that God exists.
		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).

	Johann Gottlieb Fichte - Britannica Concise
		Fichte's Science of Knowledge (1794), a reaction to the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant and especially to Kant's Critique of Practical Reason (1788), was his most original and characteristic work.
		To demonstrate that practical reason is really the root of reason in its entirety, the absolute ground of all knowledge as well as of humanity altogether, he started from a supreme principle, the ego, which is independent and sovereign, so that all other knowledge is deducible from it.
