subjective idealism, n.All

Subjective idealism (n.) loses ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠nothing and gains nothing: the ego stays filled with the same finite content, now merely labelled 'mine'.

Subjective idealism (n.) says ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that leaves looking green not black, sugar tasting sweet not bitter, the clock's first stroke preceding its second — all of this falls in me.

Subjective idealism (n.) flatters ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠man that he makes his world — but if his world is a heap of sense-intuitions he has no cause to be proud of it.

Subjective idealism (n.) sets ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the I = I against a world it must struggle against without end, negating that world's intrinsic nullity to win for its self-certainty the truth of being equal to itself.

Subjective idealism (n.) leaves ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its reader inconsolable, confined within an impenetrable circle of merely subjective representations — as Fichte's "attempt to force the reader to understand" showed.
