Outline of the Distinctive Character of the Doctrine of Science with Regard to the Theoretical Faculty

Johann Fichte

Description:Published in 1795, Outline of the Distinctive Character of the Doctrine of Science (original German "Grundriss des Eigenthümlichen der Wissenschaftslehre, in Rücksicht auf das theoretische Vermögeno") grounds theoretical philosophy in the act by which the I posits itself as the intuiting subject, treating intuition as a synthetic union of the I and the not-I. In order to make one intuition accidental, Fichte opposes it with a second, necessary intuition. Their relationship cannot be derived from the freedom of the I and thus appears as a determination "by the things." The imagination produces a common sphere in which the opposing intuitions converge, yielding space. Space is not a thing with its own reality, but rather the sphere of a power’s activity, marked by exclusion and continuity. Space is extended, continuous, and infinitely divisible only in relation to possible acts that fill it. "Empty space" exists only in the imagination's transition from one possible filling to another. Intensity and extensity are inseparable. Every power manifests in a spatial place through its product. Inner qualitative properties belong to feeling and are theoretically irrelevant. Therefore, apart from such inner qualities, things are distinguished only by the spaces they occupy, and spatial determination is always relative to places that are already filled. Freedom re-enters when the self chooses which term is determined or determinable in space. However, uniting an object with a point requires a series of syntheses, each of which is conditioned by a prior one. This generates time. The present is an accidental and dependent point. Things are simultaneous in space, but they can only be perceived successively in time. The past exists only as a thought in the present. However, it is necessary for the present, and thus for consciousness. Consciousness's identity arises from linking moments. There is no first moment, only a second. Space and time measure one another because spatial traversal and temporal succession are co-constituted by the "I's" absolute spontaneity and the imagination's synthesis. The distinctive character of the Doctrine of Science is its grounding of objectivity, spatiality, and temporality in these positing acts, rather than in things-in-themselves. It also explains the apparent necessity of experience through the lawful structure of these acts. This work highlights a significant methodological distinction between Fichte and Kant. While Kant begins his critical philosophy by assuming that time, space, and the manifold of sensory intuition are basic conditions of experience given within consciousness, Fichte argues that his Wissenschaftslehre derives these fundamental structures a priori from the principle of the self-positing Ego. Instead of treating time, space, and intuitive content as mysterious preconditions that must be accepted, Fichte claims to have demonstrated their emergence from the fundamental activity of self-consciousness. Fichte considers this to be the distinctive theoretical achievement of his system: showing how all the basic structures that Kant took as starting points can be deduced from the absolute Ego's self-determining activity. Having completed this deduction, Fichte suggests that his readers now find themselves at the same starting point where Kant began his investigation but with the advantage of understanding how these conditions of experience are grounded in something more fundamental. This modern professional translation delivers scholarly depth with amplifying materials to place Fichte's philosophy in its social and intellectual context. This critical reader's edition includes an extensive afterword tracing his personal relationship with both Hegel and Kant. Fichte was also close with Kant, to the point where Kant helped him publish his first philosophy book. Fichte considered himself an heir of Kant's philosophy. But over the decades, Kant broke the relationship by stating that his system was "completely indefensible" and that Fichte had transformed critical philosophy into something Kant didn't recognize - a form of idealism that eliminated the thing-in-itself entirely and made everything dependent on the activity of the ego. Fichte and Hegel knew each other during their time at the University of Jena and Hegel was influenced by Fichte's idealist philosophy, but he later developed sharp criticisms of Fichte's system. Hegel eventually saw Fichte's philosophy as incomplete and overly subjective, which he argued in works like the "Phenomenology of Spirit." Fichte influenced Schopenhauer's concept of the irrational Will, Freud's Ego and Sartre's Existentialism. In recent decades, Fichte was revitalized by Žižek's praise for his subjective negativity as highlighting the Void of the Real. This edition also contains a comprehensive timeline connects the major events of Fichte's life with world events, an glossary of Critical Philosophical and Romantic Idealist terminology, and a detailed index provides an authoritative guide to his complete writings to bring to life this critical late 18th century metaphysician.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
