In this paper we report the results of Phil@Scale, a project directed at the development of computational methods for (the history of) philosophy. In this project, philosophers and computer scientists together created SalVe, a tool that helps philosophers answering text-based questions. SalVe has been tested successfully on the Wissenschaftslehre (1837), an extensive work by the Bohemian polyma...

In this paper I pursue the question whether transcendental explanation in Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre should be regarded as ontologically committed. It is natural to assume that transcendental explanation in the Wissenschaftslehre should be construed non-ontologically: Schulze's criticisms of Kantian philosophy and Jacobi's objection to philosophical justification supply Fichte with motives for...

Starting with the emphasis that Levinas puts on role of otherness in constitution subjective dimension, this paper discusses how articulation process and consequences derive from it recall specifically Fichtean themes. Although relation between Fichte has not been thoroughly examined literature yet, can nevertheless be shown themes such as “call” subject outside, unattainable dimension an irred...

The article discusses the connection between art and emotion in Fichte’s work its contemporary reception by architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. For latter, not only selected architectural theoretical studies but also Schinkel’s ideal designs are consulted. Schinkel knew Fichte personally held him high esteem. This is evidenced some of verbatim references to various forms Wissenschaftslehre sub-d...
