Fichte's Concept of the Self

Fichte's concept of the Self centers on active self-awareness and the mind’s role in shaping reality. He believed the Self, or "I," is not a passive receiver of experiences but an active creator through self-assertion and consciousness. The Self posits both itself and the world through a dynamic process, emphasizing that our awareness and intentions form our understanding of existence. In essence, Fichte sees the Self as the origin of knowledge and action, continuously shaping and building its reality through self-reflection and purpose.
