Fichte: The Self-Positing "I" (and a little Kant and Žižek)

  • After Immanuel Kant developed his system of Transcendental Idealism, Fichte attempted to uncover what Kant lacked: the absolute ground. Fichte considers the subject, or the self-positing "I", to be the absolute from which the entire science of knowledge may be deduced. In this video, we attempt to answer what exactly Fichte means by the "subject" and its "self-positing act", while also touching on Kant's "Transcendental Apperception" and Zizek's void of self-relating negativity.

    Beautiful, eloquent, and comprehensive: it’s wonderful that you did this video focusing in on Fichte. I particularly appreciated the quote you employed that clearly delineated why “A = A” isn’t the same as “I = I” for Fichte, as well as drawing attention to how for Fichte the “I is a whole” while for Žižek the “I is a hole.” Great work!

      Does it matter, they wrote and weren't speaker, abstracting the dualism behind the lifeworld of phenomology, takes awhile as it is a minor statistic, right. They aren't the same thing. That's old.

    Fichte- reminds me of Rudolf Steiner, who was Geothe's curator. Much of his musings are way out there - but his 'Philisophy of Freedom', his first werk, is fairly solid. His insight into the future and those accurate statements impress me the most....

    Good discussion. Fichte's view of the Ego involves not only innate ideas in the Ego (the laws of logic) but all of reality in the Ego. He was basically a hyper-Nativist, or perhaps better a pan-Nativist vis-a-vis the Empiricists. Kant tried to combine Nativism and Empiricism but Fichte thought of the Empiricist component of Kant's philosophy -- the thing in itself -- as wrong. Zizek's view of the subject seems similar to Kant's, in that for Kant, none of the Nativist or innate components in knowledge (forms, categories, unities) had any content. They were "holes" waiting to be filled in with material content.

    (First blush reaction -- note I haven't analyzed this at all (I'm currently distracted with another task) and this is simply an immediately reactive utterance that, IMHO, is interesting enough to merit discussion by others, should my fractured attention span lead to forgetting about this completely):
    Isn't there an underlying tautology that grounds the unity of the self-positing I that makes the judgment about identity?
    Doesn't the judgment "if A = A, then A=A" rely for any meaning at all on the possibility that A either is A or isn't A?

      You're correct, that's exactly what Wittgenstein and Schopenhauer said, Schop was actually student in Fichte's class and his notebooks were full of criticisms, often calling him "long winded" or "windbag" a comment which eventually made its way into the 1819 World as Will and representation

    Wouldn't this ultimately posit Quantity as the only groundless category? Like as in the Monad? I say this because it seems that the concept of unity os being used here both in an existential sense as well as a mathematical sense.

    So much of this philosophy is essentially open ended in that it requires some kind of faith which I have a lot of trouble understanding. So, is God closer to 'I Am' or 'I am Not'? Perhaps God is the interface between the two. How does one subscribe to duality without subscribing to subjectivity, and subjecthood?
