Who this is
“Fichte deleted Kant's unknowable "thing-in-itself" and rebuilt philosophy from a single starting point — the free, self-creating I — making freedom go all the way down.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The self is not a thing you have but an act you perform — and the whole world is best understood as the arena that free, striving selves need in order to act at all.”
