“Our task is to discover the primordial, absolutely unconditioned first principle of all human knowledge. This can be neither proved nor defined, if it is to be an absolutely primary principle.

No proposition is possible without both content and form. There must be something about which one has knowledge, and there must also be something which one knows about this thing. It follows that the initial proposition of the entire Wissenschaftslehre must have both content and form. Since this proposition is supposed to be certain immediately and through itself, this can only mean...

'...the science of Wissenschaftslehre gave prominence to judgments that were distorted if pressed into the traditional logical forms. Accordingly, Fichte proposed to let logical theory follow in the wake of transcendental philosophy, specifically by letting the shape of his philosophical theory revise the traditional standards for logical form.'

As it posits itself, so it is; and as it is, so it posits itself; and hence the self is absolute and necessary for the self. What does not exist for itself is not a self.”
