Fichtean Ethics

Fichtean Ethics, developed by philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte, emphasizes that moral actions arise from our rational self-awareness and sense of duty. According to Fichte, individuals are motivated by their inner sense of moral obligation, which stems from their recognition of their rational freedom and the interconnectedness of all beings. Ethical behavior is not about following external rules, but about acting in harmony with our rational self-interest and moral duty, fostering personal growth and social harmony. Ultimately, Fichtean Ethics posits that morally good actions are those aligned with one's true rational self and shared moral purpose.
