• 'The Subsequent Delivery of the Deduction' – Fichte’s Transformation of Kant’s Deduction of the Categories Wellmann, Gesa 2021 Fichte-Studien , Vol. 49 , S. 119 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0925-0166 | 1879-5811 10.5840/fichte2021498 Abstract

    In the wake of the massive criticism of Kant’s deduction of the categories in the first Critique, Fichte starts providing what he takes an improved version of such a deduction to be. This article aims at investigating the transformation he thereby introduces into the Kantian thought. I will do so mainly with respect to the deduction’s architectonical dimension, i.e. by investigating the role of the deduction for the Wissenschaftslehre as a whole. Concretely, I will defend the following theses: (1) By identifying the deduction of the categories and the metaphysical system, Fichte moves away both from Kant’s conception of a system and from that of a deduction. (2) It is the unique character of Fichte’s conception of a first principle of a system that allows for an identification between system and deduction.
