The theme of "unity" seems to have been one of the central keys both to the convergence and complete rupture between Romanticism and Fichte’s philosophy. In this paper, I will explore one of the aspects of this subject from a well-defined and specific perspective, which requires the reconstruction (1) in its more general outlines, of the conception of judgment carried out by the Grundlage of 1794-5; and (2) of the critique addressed to Fichte’s project that is outlined in a fragment, known as "Judgment and Being", written by Hölderlin – who, although not exactly a "Romantic", takes a position, from my point of view, quite emblematic in regard to the dialog Fichte establishes with the Romantics strictu sensu.
