| Sumari: | This paper aims at discussing whether Fichte’s concept of politics can be considered innovative for his time. Politics is an issue on which the philosopher has left us no systematic treaty. Thus, in order to answer the question raised, we have no choice but to go through the most significant definitions of politics scattered in his writings and conferences on the one hand; and consider his own engagement in both theory and practice as a man of culture, on the other one. Indeed, according to the interpretation we offer here for Fichte’s thought, politics means not only the theory of the State (Staatslehre) or art of government (Regierungskunst) – what we call stricto sensu politics – but also the effects of the art of philosophy in society. In this perspective we propose to call political every effect of exhortation (Aufförderung) what we call latu sensu politics. Thus, politics according to the principles of the Doctrine of science would be not only knowledge (or technique), but much more an art of living in society. |
