The Voction of the Scholar

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Book Overview: 

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 was a very nice read. The concept of the perfection of man is reminiscent of the idea of the Sufi concept of Ihsan which is the perfection of worship, it is not exactly the the same but similar. There is also a similarity between perfection of man as a concept with that of Theosis in Orthodox C

No wonder Bakunin got influenced so much by German Idealism.

This is a wonderful collection of transcribed lectures given by the famous German Idealist JG Fichte. The lectures go over the vocation of man as an individual (a summary from his book on it), the vocation of man in society, the distinction of classes in society, the vocation of the scholar, and the
