Johann Gottlieb Fichte / Philosophy

ACCORDING TO FICHTE, TRANSCENDENTAL PHILOSOPHY CAN EXPLAIN THAT THE WORLD MUST HAVE SPACE, TIME, AND CAUSALITY, BUT IT CAN NEVER EXPLAIN WHY OBJECTS HAVE THE PARTICULAR SENSIBLE PROPERTIES THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE OR WHY I AM THIS DETERMINATE INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN ANOTHER. JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE WAS A GERMAN PHILOSOPHER WHO BECAME A FOUNDING FIGURE OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT KNOWN AS GERMAN IDEALISM. RECENTLY, PHILOSOPHERS AND SCHOLARS HAVE BEGUN TO APPRECIATE FICHTE AS AN IMPORTANT PHILOSOPHER IN HIS OWN RIGHT DUE TO HIS ORIGINAL INSIGHTS INTO THE NATURE OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. FICHTE WAS ALSO THE ORIGINATOR OF THESIS–ANTITHESIS–SYNTHESIS, AN IDEA THAT IS OFTEN ERRONEOUSLY ATTRIBUTED TO HEGEL. LIKE DESCARTES AND KANT BEFORE HIM, FICHTE WAS MOTIVATED BY THE PROBLEM OF SUBJECTIVITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS. FICHTE ALSO WROTE WORKS OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY; HE HAS A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE FATHERS OF GERMAN NATIONALISM. ALL IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO ARE IMAGES IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
