LIMA, Erick. "Individuality is a reciprocal and communal concept": Fichte and the principles of a social philosophy in accordance with the doctrine of science. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.59, pp.353-373. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30n59a2016-p353a373.

The paper aims at considering Fichte's idea that individuality is a reciprocal and communal concept. To begin with, I attempt to connect the unfolding of the real sciences according to the principles of the Wissenschaftslehre to the deduction of empirical consciousness. Then I consider the main tasks of Fichte´s Natural Right in order to point out the role played in it by human interaction (1). Secondly, the aim is to specify how Fichte intends to connect the practical and the theoretical uses of reason (2). Then, after considering the relation of practical consciousness and the world, I argue that Fichte´s discussion of intersubjectivity in the 1794 lectures on the Vocation of the Scholar (4) and in the Natural Right entails interesting features for social philosophy (5).

Keywords : J. G. Fichte; Subjectivity; Epistemology; Practical Philosophy; Natural Right..
