Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Science and science of sciences. Me and not-Me
Johann Gottlieb Fichte was born in Rammenau in 1762 and studied at the universities of Jena and Leipzig. Without receiving a degree, he worked for some time as a tutor in Zurich. The turning point in Fichte’s fate was his acquaintance with the works of Kant in 1790. He immediately felt like a Kantian and began to seek a meeting with the author of his favorite philosophical system. The meeting took place in July 1791, but Kant showed no enthusiasm and Fichte was disappointed. Nevertheless, he still managed to gain the approval of the famous philosopher. In 1792, he anonymously (though not intentionally) published the work “An Essay on the Critique of Every Revelation”, written in the spirit of criticism and accepted by many as the work of Kant himself.
