Appercezione trascendentale e ricorsività: la logica trascendentale come teoria dell’immagine (Transzendentale Logik II, Lezione XX)

The paper aims at giving an outline of some key arguments and concepts offered by Fichte’s late lessons on Transcendental logic (1812). I maintain that, according to Fichte, the transcendental-logic structure of thinking and knowledge is ruled by a recursivve self-reflection, that is the transcendental condition of possibility both of the experience and of philosophy. Fichte stresses this point, while exploring the potentialities of the «image» concept and its important link with the «I» as «transcendental apperception». This theoretical move enables Fichte 1. to genetically work out the transcendental deduction of representation; 2. to criticise the deficiencies of formal logic; 3. to go over the performative self-contradiction that invalidates Kant’s «factual» standpoint
