Fichte is a necessary step to both Hegel and Marx.

I think the contribution people make is not proportionate to their fame or success. In fact, I think the relation is often inverse.

Hegel's theory of recognition is basically derived from Fichte, who is its real author.

As I understand it, Kantian constructivism is partly a position in normative ethics and partly a position in metaethics. In metaethics, it is the position that ethical claims have truth values, but their truth conditions consist not in a set of objective facts to which they correspond, but instead in the outcome of some procedure of deliberation resulting in decisions about what to do.

We can never prove that we are free or integrate our freedom in any way into our objective conception of the causal order of nature.

It is sad to witness the persistence in our society of the racism and xenophobia that seems to be a permanent part of our political culture. It is shameful to see politicians exploiting these human weaknesses in order to gain political power. It is most depressing of all to contemplate a future in which politicians who do this will continue to have influence over people's lives.

Kant considers belief in God and immortality to be items of "faith" because he relates faith to the pursuit of ends - in this case, the highest good.
