The aim of the following remarks is to take a closer look at Fichte's 1805 Propädeutik Erlangen1 (hereafter PE) and to provide at least a rough sketch of how these introductory lectures describe the transition from prescientific everyday consciousness to scientific knowledge and from scientific knowledge to philosophical knowledge; namely to what Fichte regards as the only legitimate form of philosophical knowledge: the Wissenschaftslehre.
