Beautiful, eloquent, and comprehensive: it’s wonderful that you did this video focusing in on Fichte. I particularly appreciated the quote you employed that clearly delineated why “A = A” isn’t the same as “I = I” for Fichte, as well as drawing attention to how for Fichte the “I is a whole” while for Žižek the “I is a hole.” Great work!

Yes! Well said

What Kant said about the self was so profound that i can't believe it's not talked about more.

Great stuff, lays the groundwork for some of the most important philosophy of our time!

im not big on philosophy but this video makes me curious to read up more on what philosophers had to say. thank you for your time in making this!

Does it matter, they wrote and weren't speaker, abstracting the dualism behind the lifeworld of phenomology, takes awhile as it is a minor statistic, right. They aren't the same thing. That's old.

Fichte- reminds me of Rudolf Steiner, who was Geothe's curator. Much of his musings are way out there - but his 'Philisophy of Freedom', his first werk, is fairly solid. His insight into the future and those accurate statements impress me the most....

Good discussion. Fichte's view of the Ego involves not only innate ideas in the Ego (the laws of logic) but all of reality in the Ego. He was basically a hyper-Nativist, or perhaps better a pan-Nativist vis-a-vis the Empiricists. Kant tried to combine Nativism and Empiricism but Fichte thought of the Empiricist component of Kant's philosophy -- the thing in itself -- as wrong. Zizek's view of the subject seems similar to Kant's, in that for Kant, none of the Nativist or innate components in knowledge (forms, categories, unities) had any content. They were "holes" waiting to be filled in with material content.

this is a fantastic video

Me when the floating astronaut categories (groundless) knock over a book on my shelf and make me (Kantian) realize that I win the argument

I = i^i =infinidiimensional infinities , imo.

This reminds me of the work of Mister Eckhart, on the ground of god and soul and there unity.

I don't understand anything of this. Any tips on how to understand Kant? And philosophy in general

WHERE THE GROUND AT

🔥

Wouldn't this ultimately posit Quantity as the only groundless category? Like as in the Monad? I say this because it seems that the concept of unity os being used here both in an existential sense as well as a mathematical sense.

So much of this philosophy is essentially open ended in that it requires some kind of faith which I have a lot of trouble understanding. So, is God closer to 'I Am' or 'I am Not'? Perhaps God is the interface between the two. How does one subscribe to duality without subscribing to subjectivity, and subjecthood?

so is transcendental self something that everyone has? or is that 1 big thing that connects us all like a god

The self in deception of continental possibility, they just want more, as the catalyst to self isolation. No, it's like a jury or reflected statistic from 80 to 120.
