Johann Gottlieb Fichte
(1762-1814) is one of the major figures in German philosophy in
the period between Kant and Hegel. Initially considered one of
Kant's most talented followers, Fichte developed his own system of
transcendental philosophy, the so-called Wissenschaftslehre.
Through technical philosophical works and popular writings Fichte
exercised great influence over his contemporaries, especially
during his years at the University of Jena. His influence waned
towards the end of his life, and Hegel's subsequent dominance
relegated Fichte to the status of a transitional figure whose
thought helped to explain the development of German idealism from
Kant's Critical philosophy to Hegel's philosophy of Spirit. Today,
however, Fichte is more correctly seen as an important philosopher
in his own right, as a thinker who carried on the tradition of
German idealism in a highly original form.
