Abstract

In The Science of Knowledge nova methodo, Fichte holds that a subject only acquires a determinated conception of itself by identifying itself with a volitional determination that subjects its actions to a categorical “ought to”. The present article aims at showing that the fichtean thesis encompasses a conception of volitive identity which anticipates contemporary conceptions of the practical identity o persons, such as those introduced by H. Frankfurt and Chr. Korsgaard.
