Nietsche gave shortest explanation of this solipsism : If You Gaze Long Into an Abyss, the Abyss Also Gazes Into You. To understand how Abyss gazes back, one needs today to upgrade understanding of electromagnetism.

Wow legendary. I am so impressed. Thank you very much

Sounds like Hegel’s self consciousness section. Moving out of self certainly into self consciousness with other interactions.

[jamesb]

This is incredibly well explained. Thank you. I am new to Fichte so this was extraordinarily helpful.

[nigelhunter]

Thankyou Sir,
That was a tremendous and very helpful explanation. I've now got a clearer grasp of Fichte' s thought.
Thanks again from UK

I think Fichte has some good instincts about the socialized nature of cognition, anticipating some of the scientific work in child cognitive development. It's seems obvious that sense perceptions would not be dependent on socialization, but to be 100% objective, we have to allow for the possibility that socialization weeds out certain bandwidths of sense perception.. Contemporary neuroscience confirms that the brain selects what perceptions to allow through the gate for processing (Anil Seth). There's no doubt that socialization influences our judgements/valuations and ethics. Not sure how free we are - children in their cognitive development phase are not free, as adults there's an impetus to be free, and the further you pursue it, the further up the mountain, away from the village you must travel.

I never heard the distinction between the mechanical and the biological self-organizing. Prefigured Hegel?

Before we are thronw into the world, or we have crossed the line of birth and become any kind of "subject", we are in some other dimension of reality. If we would like to think of that "invisible" zone but outside the mundane-biological notions of mother, womb or pregancy, and think of it methaphysically, how would you think of it, using any ontological ideas of the tradition you study? in other words, what ontological, theological or fenomonological understanding you think could give a better "access" to that mode of being, or what philosopher you think has address that issue with a more direct concious of it? Thanks before hand, and i hope i made my self clear.

Wouldn't the presence of other absolute egos necessitate a greater encompassing reality x anyway? I fail to see how this is much different from Kant's account. To me, x includes other absolute egos, so if anything, Fichte is really just explicating some aspects of the Kantian picture.
