Thought for the day …

What sort of philosophy one chooses depends on what sort of person one is.
— Johann Gottlieb Fichte, born on this date 1762

  1. I find that I made it about 105 pages into "The Science of Knowledge" about 35 years ago. I believe that I recall that Fichte said one was either a dogmatist--taking the world as existing independently of the self--or a dialectician--taking the world as created by the self.

    My impression after all these years is that Fichte made Hegel and Kant seem perspicuous.
