Ep. 272: Fichte's Idealist Theology (Part One)

<p>Our second full discussion on <em>The Vocation of Man</em> (1799).</p> <p>What are the ethical implications of believing that the world is all in our minds? You could be a solipsistic nihilist, but Fichte thinks the path of faith is unavoidable for a reasonable person: faith that the world is real and matters, that other people have moral status, and yes, he's going to argue for God and heaven, though unconventionally.</p> <p>Part two of this episode is only going to be available to you if you sign up at <a href="https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/support">partiallyexaminedlife.com/support</a>. <a href="https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2021/06/20/ep272-2-fichte-theology-citizen/">Get it now</a> or <a href="https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2021/06/21/preview-ep272-2-fichte-theology/">listen to a preview</a>.</p> <p>Sponsors: Visit <a href="https://wondrium.com/pel">wondrium.com/PEL</a> to get the Great Courses Plus as well as new, original content free for 14 days. Get $75 off your starter teeth-straightening kit via <a href="https://www.candidco.com/pel">CandidCO.com/pel</a> (code PEL).
