Актуальность прошлого: Монолог Фихте о достоинстве человека и ученого в контексте современной эпохи
Relevance of the Past: Fichte's Monoogue about Dignity of Man and Scientist in the Context of the Modern Era

Summary/Abstract: In the last decade of the 18th century, in the era of European radical change, Fichte again raised the question of the essence of man. He linked this issue with the development of culture, and approved its key importance for philosophy, science, national development. Following kant, Fichte speaks of human dignity, which is the ability to “use one’s own mind”. But, unlike kant, he emphasizes the role of freedom as a necessary condition for intellectual independence, humanitarian knowledge as a true form of its expression, and the value of activity as the true goal of a reasonable human being. Hence the important perfectionist thesis of Fichte: the ultimate destiny of man – to be a scientist, the ultimate purpose of the scientist – to know the man in his free activities. Modern discussion on freedom, relations of political-legal and moral norms, demonstrates the relevance of Fichte’s ideas.
