Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762–1814) · Jena and Leipzig: C.E. Gabler, 1794

InferredHudspeth identified Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762–1814) as the philosopher who developed this distinction; Fuller's knowledgeable use of the terms may derive from direct reading of Fichte or, more probably, through her engagement with Novalis's Fragmente, which extensively engage with Fichtean idealism.
