Los elementos filosóficos de El Estado comercial cerrado de Fichte

This paper attempts to expound the philosophical background of the concept of rational State in Fichte’s The Closed Commercial State (1800) and how the Science of Knowledge’s metaphysics ground the political and economical problems found in that work. In order to achieve this, we analyze three points. In the first place, we study the conception of the ideal as the foundation of the real, which is explained through the concept of a projected final goal. In the second place, we compare dogmatism with the articulation between the universal and the particular in Idealism, which leads to a conception of State as a founding unity. In the third and last place, we analyze the commercial, social and horizontal space, where the position of each particular is in a reciprocal relationship with the others.
