Fichte’s Idealism | German Idealist Philosophy

A reading of the first chapter of J.G. Fichte’s “Facts of Consciousness,” which was published in 1817.

Favorite: "It is, moreover, to be remarked in regard to the form of thinking, that thinking is a positing, and a positing is an opposition to another; hence, an 'op-positing', and that, therefore, all opposition rises immediately and purely from thinking, and is produced by thinking."

Found the part where Fichte denounces atomism pretty funny. I can understand prioritizing the fact that extended objects are conceptually infinitely divisible, but saying "it's just obvious" seems like a poor argument.
