I could identify for virtually every important figure in the history of modern continental philosophy an idea (or more than one) absolutely central to that philosopher's thought, whose original author was Fichte.

Kant was a rational theologian. He did not pretend to be a biblical or revealed theologian.

Capitalism has not proven to be a transitional form, a gateway to a higher human future.

Philosophy is about getting the facts right, but it is also about thinking rightly about them. Philosophy is more about the latter than the former.

The moral law is simply the way we think our own freedom as self-determination.

The problem I see with utilitarianism, or any form of consequentialism, is not that it gets the wrong answers to moral questions. I think just about any moral theory, worked out intelligently, and applied with good judgment, would get just about the same results as any other.

That Hegel's theory is derivative from Fichte's does not prevent it from being strikingly original and of independent value.
