The Vocation of the Scholar(1794) by Johann Gottlieb Fichte, translated by William Smith.Upon the progress of knowledge the whole progress of the human race is immediately dependent: he who retards that, hinders this also. And he who hinders this, —what character does he assume towards...Humanity may endure the loss of everything: all its possessions may be torn away without infringing its true dignity; — all but the possibility of improvement.The Science of Rights1899 Kroeger tr 1. I posit myself as rational, that is, as free. In doing so I have the representation of freedom. In the same undivided act I posit other free beings. Hence, I describe through my power of imagination a sphere of freedom, which these many separate beings divide amongst themselves. I do not ascribe to myself all...

First Address of Fourteen
1. Time is taking giant strides with us more than with any other age since the history of the world began. At some point within the three years that have gone by since my interpretation of the present age that epoch has come to an end. At some point self-seeking has destroyed itself, because by its own complete development it has lost its self and the independence of that self; and since it would not voluntarily set itself any other aim but self, an external power has forced upon it another a...
Second Address
1. He who must still exhort himself, and be exhorted, to will the good, has as yet no firm and ever-ready will, but wills a will anew every time he needs it. But he who has such a stable will, wills what he wills for ever, and cannot under any circumstances will otherwise than he always wills. For him freedom of the will is destroyed and swallowed up in necessity. 1.1. General Nature of New Eduction p 21 1. This education, therefore, results at the very outset in knowledge which transcends al...
Third Address
1. This method of mental training is, therefore, the immediate preparation for the moral; it completely destroys the root of immorality by never allowing sensuous enjoyment to become the motive. Formerly, that was the first motive to be stimulated and developed, because it was believed that otherwise the pupil could not be influenced or controlled at all. 1.1. General Nature of New Eduction contiunued p. 31 1. Education to true religion is the final task of the new education. 1.1. General Nat...
Outline of the Doctrine of Knowledge(1810), as translated by William Smith The Doctrine of Knowledge, apart from all special and definite knowing, proceeds immediately upon Knowledge itself, in the essential unity in which it recognises Knowledge as existing; and it raises this question in the first place — How this Knowledge can come into being, a...
- “What sort of philosophy one chooses depends, therefore, on what sort of man one is; for a philosophical system is not a dead piece of furniture that we can accept or reject as we wish, it is rather a thing animated by the soul of the person who holds it.”
- “A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.” ― Johann Gottlieb Fichte.
- “Men in the vehement pursuit of happiness grasp at the first object which offers to them any prospect of satisfaction, but immediately they turn an introspective eye and ask, ‘Am I happy?’
- “We do not act because we know, but we know because we are destined for action; practical reason is the root of all reason.” ― Johann Fichte.
FICHTE ON EDUCATION but the spiritual life that lives in thought, and that this spiritual life is the divine life manifesting itself in living thought ; that is, it will lead to true religion, to the religion of the indwelling of our life in God. Such an education is the art of training the whole man completely and fully for manhod.
Johann Gottlieb Fichte is one of the major figures in German philosophy in the period between Kant and Hegel. Initially considered one of Kant’s most talented followers, Fichte developed his own system of transcendental philosophy, the so-called Wissenschaftslehre .
Fichte claims that subjectivity is only possible in response to a summons by the other, which foreshadows an emphasis among contemporary philosophers on the social constitution of the subject.
