Vocation of the Scholar
'Vocation of the Scholar' Summary
In his "Vocation of the Scholar," Johann Gottlieb Fichte argues that the scholar has a moral obligation to pursue truth and knowledge, and to use their learning to benefit humanity. He emphasizes the importance of freedom of thought and expression, and the role of the university as a place where critical inquiry can flourish. Fichte's work is a challenging and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of scholarship and the responsibilities of intellectuals in society.Book Details
