The Fundamental Principle Of Fichtes Philosophy PDF Download

Excerpt from The Fundamental Principle of Fichte's Philosophy The purpose of this monograph is to make a careful study of Fichte's conception of the ultimate principle. In his various writings the principle appears under many different names. The Ego, ' 'the Idea of the Ego, ' 'the moral world-order, ' 'god, ' 'the Absolute, ' 'being, ' 'the Light, ' are some of the phrases by which it is most commonly designated. It is not the main purpose of this study to examine the much discussed question of the relation between the two periods of Fichte's philosophy. But the question is so intimately connected with the problem which I have undertaken that some discussion of it is inevitable. I have tried, however, to keep well within the limits of my theme, and instead Of considering the relation between the two periods in all its aspects, have sought merely to determine how far the conception of the fundamental principle which we find in Fichte's later writings differs from that which appears in the earlier ones.
