Could someone explain Fichte's impetus (Anstoss) to me? I know there are a few Reason enjoyers on this board.

I hate these retarded threads. The OP pretends to ask a question about a philosopher as an excuse to go on his own autistic rant once someone inevitably says something that he thinks is wrong. Stop pretending like you aren’t the fichte autist yourself.

I'm still going through Kant, every explanation I could find (without getting into Fichte's own work) is shallow and worthless, written by midwits.

Oh lol, just as you wrote that I was writing another comment that now makes me seem like I'm the Fichte autist.

This. The capitalization gives it away immediately.

False, someone else is starting these threads. Yeah I sperg out because most of you don’t know what you’re talking about, sue me. Septic pseuds, most of you. I’m so, so sorry for writing informative posts about a great philosopher. Write an effortpost about idealism I’d be happy to read it.
To OP -. For Fichte as long as we live, we act. And our free acting is only understandable insofar as it’s determined by an “ought”. If we simply followed animal drives, we wouldn’t be intellectual. But if we acted freely without an “ought” - what would our goal be? We’d act randomly, which doesn’t make sense. This ought is simply the wellbeing of others, and Fichte deduces this as part of the famous summons. For the ought to produce action, we have to be limited, ie the ought is not perfectly fulfilled, there’s always more to do in the sense that we’re always active and alive. This limitation = nature. For a transcendental science, you have to show how we arrive at the idea of a cause from limitation rather than vice versa, or else you’re positing things in themselves. It’s an anstoss because it can be conceived as “starting” or kicking off the whole process of empirical consciousness. That’s the gist. Note that this “ought” as a goal is the first principle of the Foundation. To explain why Fichte formulates it as identity is too much for a phone post.

It really isn’t me who started this thread or any other idealist thread today. You’re just buttblasted that you have nothing to write worth reading.
