About Johann Gottlieb Fichte
- Johann Gottlieb Fichte (; German: ['jo?han 'g?tli?p 'f?çt?]; 19 May 1762 – 27 January 1814) was a German philosopher who became a founding figure of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, which developed from the theoretical and ethical writings of Immanuel Kant.
- 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.
- 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.
