    About this audiobook

    Johann Gottlieb Fichte (German: ['jo?han 'g?tli?p 'f?çt?]; May 19, 1762 – January 27, 1814) was a German philosopher. He was one of the founding figures of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, which developed from the theoretical and ethical writings of Immanuel Kant. Fichte is often perceived as a figure whose philosophy forms a bridge between the ideas of Kant and those of the German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. 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 or self-awareness. Like Descartes and Kant before him, he was motivated by the problem of subjectivity and consciousness. Fichte also wrote works of political philosophy and is considered one of the fathers of German nationalism. This book consists of an author's preface and five lectures delivered by Fichte at Jena University, Holy Roman Empire, in 1794. - Summary by Wikipedia and Soupy

    Johann Gottlieb Fichte

    Johann Gottlieb Fichte wird 1762 geboren. Nachdem ihm der Schulbesuch noch durch einen Gönner ermöglicht wird, muß er sich das Studium in Jena durch Hauslehrerstellen finanzieren. Die Begegnung mit der Philosophie Kants veranlaßt ihn, diesen in Königsberg aufzusuchen und ihm den Versuch einer Kritik aller Offenbarung vorzulegen. Kant vermittelt hierfür einen Verleger, und das Erscheinen des Werks macht Fichte schlagartig berühmt.Als auch politischer Denker setzt sich Fichte zunächst für die Ideale der französischen Revolution ein um dann später vehement gegen die napoleonische Unterdrückung zu kämpfen. Mit Fichte als einem der Hauptvertreter des deutschen Idealismus setzen sich insbesondere Schelling und Hegel auseinander. Fichte stirbt 1814 in Berlin an einer Infektionskrankheit.
