Фихтеове прве рефлексије о политичким и моралним питањима
Fichte's First Reflections Concerning Political and Moral Questions

Summary/Abstract: In this text, we will focus our attention on the first Fichte’s work Random Thoughts on a Sleepless Night which indicates the future interests of this philosopher. In “Random Thoughts” Fichte describes the political situation and the general decadence of German society which directly depends on the hedonistic life of higher classes. The loss of moral considerations of those in the highest social positions reflects on the overall functioning of the state, and in linking the ethics and politics Fichte raises the thesis that the immoral behavior of princes, nobles, and all responsible persons who run state affairs causes the general social collapse. In this paper, Fichte in some way appeals for each individual to be morally transformed because only moral communities and societies can hope for prosperity. Later political-legal texts point to Fichte's enlightenment aspirations to raise the general self-consciousness of their compatriots through education and improvement.
