Abstract
Based on the fivefold synthesis of Fichte’s Wissenschafstlehre-1804-II, I examine the implicit logical necessity of both world-plan ages and worldviews in two works of the post-Jena period, in which Fichte seeks to explain the history of humanity from an a priori plan (Die Grundzüge des gegenwärtigen Zeitalters) and the history of consciousness in its ascent to a higher worldview (Die Anweisung zum seligen Leben) respectively. The purpose of this text is therefore threefold: (1) to verify the relationship between the fivefold synthesis and the worldviews; (2) to verify the relationship between the fivefold synthesis and the epochs of the world plan; and (3) to verify the relationship between 1 and 2. Of course, there are previous studies that examine both works separately, but none that establish a precise correlation between worldviews and world ages. This article fills that gap.
