Fichte
Post-Kantian German philosopher
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762–1814) was a German philosopher who developed Kant's ideas into a system of absolute idealism.
He argued that the self posits both itself and the external world, making consciousness the foundation of all reality.
His lectures on German nationalism during the Napoleonic occupation were influential in shaping German identity.
Fichte bridges Kant and Hegel in the development of German idealist philosophy.
