| Research Abstract |
When we study the German Thought in 18th Century, we can never do it without thinking how "Secret Societies"played important parts.For example "Freemasonry" started from "religious intolerance" and came to "humanity"and "cosmopolitanism". It was natural that the philosophers of"German Idealism" had showed interest in "Secret Societies".Though Kant never joined any of these societies, he often had to argue with them all his life. In "Berlinische Monatsschrift" Kant criticized Jacobi and Schlober etc.They were the famous mystical Freemasons in Germany at that time and "Berlinische Monatsschrift" that Biester editted chiefly was the fortress of rational Freemasons. Fichte was more directly concerned with the Freemasonry and there was a report of his lectures ,"letters to Constant" or "Philosophy of Freemasonry".But he didn't succeed in reforming and antagonised most of members, for his insistence was too idealistic.He soon had to leave the lodge "Royal York",but he believed he was a "true Freemason"him-self through his life.Not only Fichte but also Lessing and Herder aimed at "Idealizing of Freemasonry".What does it mean? I'll find why they intended such a thing.
