Science of Knowledge

Book • 2018
Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Science of Knowledge (Wissenschaftslehre), published in several versions between 1794 and 1804, is a major work in German idealism.

It presents a systematic approach to philosophy, emphasizing the role of the subject's activity in constructing knowledge and experience.

Fichte's system attempts to unify theoretical and practical reason, grounding knowledge in the self-positing activity of the 'I'.

The Science of Knowledge had a significant influence on subsequent idealist thinkers and contributed to the development of German philosophy.
