The Role of organic life in Hegel’s Critique to Fichte
In the Differenzschrift, Hegel not only compares Fichte’s with Schelling’s philosophical system. He is also putting forward philosophical insights of his own, such as a concern on Life as a methodological and metaphysical key concept. Thus, more than a mere rejection, Hegel criticism to Fichte’s phi...

In the Differenzschrift, Hegel not only compares Fichte’s with Schelling’s philosophical system. He is also putting forward philosophical insights of his own, such as a concern on Life as a methodological and metaphysical key concept. Thus, more than a mere rejection, Hegel criticism to Fichte’s philosophy means a reevaluation of the task of philosophy and of its method. In Hegel’s view, Fichte’s genetic method (as he presents it in the Grundlage der gesammten Wissenschaftslehre) is problematic. I contend that the organic understanding of the concept of Life influenced Hegel’s own reading of the Fichtean philosophy and that the Hegelian ‘speculation’ echoes Fichte’s methodological terms but implies what Hegel would consider truly organic determinations. The comprehension of what is an organized being constitute one key aspect to understand how Hegel drifts apart from the Fichtean method. |
