ABSTRACT
In On the Ground of Our Belief in a Divine World-Governance, Fichte had argued that a transcendental derivation of religious belief is not an objective proof of God's existence, that the concept of the supersensible world is not philosophically derivable from the concept of the sensible world, and that the truth of philosophical first principles is not logically demonstrable. Fichte's Concluding Remark buttresses those arguments. A proof, in the mundane, objective or empirical sense, is a demonstration of some concept or existence. Concluding Remark by the Editor. The term objective or empirical proof here is not used in reference to scientific or inductive proofs but rather to contrast all ordinary proofs, including the scientific and inductive, with transcendental proofs. For example, an objective proof might show that some concept or proposition is mediately true because it is logically implied by some other concept or proposition that people have assumed as true.
