Fichte: The Self-Positing "I" (and a little Kant and Žižek)

After Immanuel Kant developed his system of Transcendental Idealism, Fichte attempted to uncover what Kant lacked: the absolute ground. Fichte considers the subject, or the self-positing "I", to be the absolute from which the entire science of knowledge may be deduced. In this video, we attempt to answer what exactly Fichte means by the "subject" and its "self-positing act", while also touching on Kant's "Transcendental Apperception" and Zizek's void of self-relating negativity.
