"Through this very contradiction, which indeed brings a disjunction with it, realism's empirical principle would become genetic, and in this genesis, perhaps it will become the principle of a higher realism and idealism [united] into"

...basically just describing what Kant did in Transcendental Dialectic, while having supposedly left his system behind to create something new at the very beginning...

Fichte attempts to found transcendentality on a continuous division between mutually exclusive "things"(theres no good word here): concept and "light", which must yet be conceived through another, though light (conditions of appearance) negates insight (into the concept or object) because it is always a prerequisite. Reality is identified with light from the inside, as something that negates any insight.

"Thus away with all words and signs!" lmao this text feels like it's constantly about to end, like every sentence should already wrap it all up but no, it continues...wild and interesting stuff though

"...This(disjunction as absolute) is an important characteristic of the science of knowing and distinguushes it Spinoza's system which also wants abdolute oneness but does not know how to make a bridge from it to the manifold" and, on the other hand, if it has the manifold, cannot get from there to oneness"
