Essentially, I'd like to formulate a comparative essay of ideas of, give or take, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, comparing their philosophical systems to that of Zen Buddhism and n thingness. Hegel is omitted from this list as I may include him out of readings for class.

Fichte, Johann Gottlieb. Foundations of transcendental philosophy (Wissenschaftslehre) nova methodo (1796/99). Ithaca: Cornell UP, 1992. Print.
How does the law of reflection relate to Sartre's concept of Anguish?
Does the ability to lobotomize or place in a coma refute that freedom is the foundation of all being? What about being vegetated? Is such an individual still free in his/her own mind and is there any way to relate such an experience? If not, should it be disregarded and we can assume all being is free?
What precisely does Fichte mean by intuition?
Freedom leads to consciousness leads to truth. Truth is transcendent because it is dialectic either within one or multiple consciousnesses and is certain only in so far as it results from a moment of genuine inwardness.
Does Fichte suppose freedom an objective force?
Is being free if being is being brainwashed?

Fichte, Johann G. The Vocation of Man. Ed. Roderick M. Chisholm. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merril Company, Inc., 1956. Print.

Kierkegaard, Søren. Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death. Trans. Walter Lowrie. Princeton: Princeton UP, 1954. Print.
The concept of faith set forth by Kierkegaard's Christian system mirrors Fichte's as Fichte supposes all being is in vreiheid whereas Kierkegaard supposes it to be in God.
Does Fichte's statement that we can only think discursively translate to a claim that we are only infinite beings? Or does it simply mean that all thinking is infinite as a self-dialectic?
Does Fichte burrow in the infinite benefaction of despair? Does he neglect despair through a system on freedom?
