Fichte y la ilustración: de la defensa de la libertad de expresión a la exhortación al pensamiento autónomo
The aim of this article is to examine Fichte’s attitude toward what can be considered the kernel of the Kantian Enlightenment program, that is, the ideal of emancipation through the autonomous exercise of one’s own reason. To this end, I analyze two works written and published a little more than a d...

I will show that despite the evident change in his attitude towards the Enlightenment, Fichte not only adheres to the Kantian Enlightenment program but also radicalizes it.

To conclude, I raise the possibility that Fichte defends a positive Enlightenment that, unlike the negative and empty one he rejects, remains faithful to the end of emancipation and autonomous thought, and achieves it by effective means. |

The aim of this article is to examine Fichte’s attitude toward what can be considered the kernel of the Kantian Enlightenment program, that is, the ideal of emancipation through the autonomous exercise of one’s own reason.
