2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 7. Status of Reason

6912	For Fichte there is no God outside the ego, and 'our religion is reason' [Fichte, by Feuerbach]
	Full Idea: For Fichte there is no God outside the ego, and 'our religion is reason'.
	From: report of Johann Fichte (works [1798]) by Ludwig Feuerbach - Principles of Philosophy of the Future §17
	A reaction: Fichte was not an atheist, but this seems to be a supreme aphorism for summarising our image of the Englightenment. Personally I subscribe to the Enlightenment ideal (the best life is the rational life), despite doubts about 'pure' reason.
