Fichte

 **__ JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE__

PHILOSPHER AND IDEALIST** Johann G. Fichte was an important philosopher and writer during a time in German history when Idealism was popular. He was specifically a follower of a previos philosopher, Kant, and followed the tradition of Neo-Kantianism. The idea of consciousness particularly interested Fichte, and soon he was seen as an important philosopher, among the leagues of Hegel and Kant.



His famous work, //Foundations of Natural Right//, argues that self-consciousness is a social phenomenon. Because of his fame and success as a philosophical writer, Fichte represents German acheivement in the Philosophical field. This achievement helped urge German nationalistic pride, an aspect of German culture that is strong and certainly not lacking.
