Iqbal and Fichte's concept of self

Abstract

This article delves deep into the philosophical groundings of the two influential thinkers, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a renowned poet-philosopher of the East, and Johann Gottlieb Fichte, one of the major thinkers in German idealism, discussing their respective understandings of the human Self. The examination of Iqbal's and Fichte's philosophical frameworks reveals intriguing and interesting affinities and divergences in their conceptualization of selfhood, consciousness, and the role of the individual in shaping reality. It offers unique perspectives on the nature of the Self, its relationship with the external world, and its potential for self-realization. The article employs a comparative and analytical approach to highlight shared themes and disparities, shedding light on various ontological, epistemological and axiological contexts that influenced these thinkers. Through a comprehensive analysis of primary texts and critical scholarships, this article contributes to a vast and deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the concept of the human Self as expounded by Iqbal and Fichte, stimulating cross-cultural dialogue within the broader philosophical discourse.
