metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the relationship between the concepts of the “absolute I” and
  “absolute” in the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte and the relationship of the latter with faith and religion. These concepts play the role of the principle of his
  philosophy in the early and late period of his work, respectively. The topic of the
  article is relevant to the issues of religion and theology, first of all, in the sense that in
  the tradition of interpretation of Fichte’s doctrine, the following two ideas are fixed.
  First, the principle of the “absolute I” is interpreted as subjective-idealistic, which is
  why Fichte in the early period of his work had to place the object of faith outside and
  above knowledge. Second, many researchers are of the view that in his later years,
  Fichte proceeds to a religious motivated philosophizing that finds expression in his
  doctrine to change the principle of the “absolute I” with the principle of “absolute”,
  which is the philosophical equivalent to the concept of God. In the first part of the
  article, based on the texts of Fichte himself, the unsatisfactoriness of these ideas and
  the identity of the content of the concepts of the “absolute I” and “absolute” in Fichte
  are shown. Further, it is demonstrated that the identical content of these concepts
  is the unconditional first cause of both being and cognition. From the beginning of
  his work, Fichte sought to understand the true nature of the original and thereby
  reveal his own definiteness of the subject of religious faith. According to Fichte,
  his philosophy should overcome the limitations of the theological teachings that
  preceded it in questions about the essence of the first cause, divine creation and
  the possibility of its knowledge, and therefore, in fact, represents the experience of
  creating a new theology.
