Fichte (Johann Gottlieb Fichte)

Johann Gottlieb Fichte was a German philosopher in the late 18th and early 19th centuries who developed ideas about how humans understand and shape their reality. He emphasized that the self—our consciousness and intentions—are central to building knowledge and guiding our actions. Fichte believed that our freedom and moral responsibility are rooted in the active role we play in creating meaning and order in the world. His philosophy underscores the importance of individual dignity, self-awareness, and the idea that our inner choices impact society and history.
