He wants to grasp the center of human existence, and he wants to grasp it in such a way that he does not develop in it a lasting, an actually lasting, [that he seeks a] unchanging being, but a continually active, a never resting. The human being, who is then his own creature. The most wonderful thing about strength, about human capacity, placed at the center of the soul's light, appears to us at the same time as the center of Fichte's world view. And here at this center, Fichte wants to grasp the self-generating I, the I that is endowed not only with the ability to think about its being, but with the ability to continually will itself. Here he wants to grasp at the same time, not in an existence that one wants to seek behind appearances, that one wants to seek here or there through some other science, but in the volition that the ego itself generates, Fichte wants to seek what lives within, in this human volition, in this human inner activity, through which the ego continually generates itself: the idea, the ideal. The I generates itself, and into this stream of self-generation the idea, the ideal, pours itself. Into this stream of self-generation the most intimate coexistence of the divinely high ideal, the divinely pure idea, with what man calls his most intimate inner experience, pours itself directly into it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Der Mensch, der dann seiner selbst Geschöpf ist. Das Wunderbarste an Kraft, an Menschenfähigkeit in den Mittelpunkt des Seelenlichtes gelegt, das erscheint uns zugleich als der Mittelpunkt des Fichte’schen Weltbildes. Und hier in diesem Mittelpunkt will Fichte erfassen das sich selbst hervorbringende Ich, das Ich, das nicht nur ausgestattet ist mit der Fähigkeit, über sein Sein zu denken, sondern mit der Fähigkeit, sich fortwährend zu wollen. Hier will er zugleich erfassen, nun nicht in einem Sein, das man hinter den Erscheinungen, das man da oder dort durch irgendwelche sonstige Wissenschaft suchen will, sondern in dem Wollen, das das Ich selbst erzeugt, will Fichte suchen, was im Innern, in dieses Menschen Wollen, in dieses Menschen innerer Tätigkeit lebt, durch welche das Ich sich fortwährend selbst erzeugt: die Idee, das Ideal.
