This paper analyses the first part of Fichte’s Staatslehre 1813, which represents a reconstruction and a reading of the history of humanity from the point of view of transcendental philosophy. Fichte traces the scientific nature of the interpretation of history back to the presupposition of God’s manifestation; from this instance the doctrine of science infers the very structure of knowledge. This is an infinite leaning towards oneness, towards the absolute, towards that, which cannot be reduced to concept. The scientific nature of history, the correctness of the evaluation of the past and the present, thus come to depend not on a consideration of the facts, not on an analysis of what has happened, but on a propensity towards the future, the ideal, which is continuous and irreducible, yet constitutive for philosophical understanding and acting in general.

Abstract
This paper analyses the first part of Fichte’s Staatslehre 1813, which represents a reconstruction and a reading of the history of humanity from the point of view of transcendental philosophy. Fichte traces the scientific nature of the interpretation of history back to the presupposition of God’s manifestation; from this instance the doctrine of science infers the very structure of knowledge. This is an infinite leaning towards oneness, towards the absolute, towards that, which cannot be reduced to concept. The scientific nature of history, the correctness of the evaluation of the past and the present, thus come to depend not on a consideration of the facts, not on an analysis of what has happened, but on a propensity towards the future, the ideal, which is continuous and irreducible, yet constitutive for philosophical understanding and acting in general.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
