This course focuses on central issues in the writings of the German idealists - Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. Each of these philosophers thinks that self-consciousness is the central issue in philosophy. In this course, we will survey the different ways in which each of the idealists conceived of self-consciousness. For Fichte, the most important way that our self-consciousness is given is our self-consciousness as moral beings. For Schelling, the most important is our self-consciousness as natural beings. For Hegel, the most important is our historical self-consciousness. Therefore in this course we shall pay particular attention to Fichte's moral philosophy, Schelling's development of Fichte's position into a philosophy of nature, and Hegel's philosophy of history.
