Abstract

In the present paper, I analyse the influence of Fichte’s philosophy on Helmholtz’s treatment of objectivity and objectification in perception. The exploration of the relationship between both philosophers, a relationship that has been somewhat disregarded in the Fichte-research, attempts to get a firmer grasp on the extent to which Helmholtz’s account of the objectification process in perception is based on Fichte’s Ego doctrine.
