Abstract
Starting from a description of the role of neo-Kantianism in Husserl’s reception of Fichtean philosophy and from a reconstruction of the reception of Fichte’s philosophy in Husserl’s lectures on Fichte’s Ideal of Humanity, the chapter describes the themes that characterize a possible phenomenological interpretation of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre, such as the role of the I in the constitution of knowing and the significance of tendency (Trieb, Streben) in both Fichte’s practical foundation of transcendental philosophy and Husserl’s transition from a static to a genetic phenomenology. Finally, the chapter will show the theoretical impact of a phenomenological interpretation of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre.
