Daniel Breazeale presents a critical study of the early philosophy
of J.G. Fichte, and the version of the Wissenschaftslehre or
'doctrine of science' that Fichte developed in Jena between 1794
and 1799. The book is intended to assist serious readers in their
efforts to understand Fichte's philosophy within the context of its
own era and to orient them in the ongoing scholarly debates
concerning the character and significance of the
Wissenschaftslehre. Breazeale focuses on explaining what Fichte was
(and was not) trying to accomplish and precisely how he proposed to
accomplish this, as well as upon the difficulties implicit in his
project and his often novel strategies for overcoming them. To this
end, the volume addresses a variety of specific themes, issues, and
problems that will be familiar to any student of Fichte's early
writings and which continue to be fiercely debated by his
interpreters. These include: the relationship of the finite human
self to the purely self-positing I, transcendental philosophy as a
'pragmatic history of the mind', Fichte's 'synthetic' method of
philosophizing, the standpoint of life vs. the standpoint of
speculation, the extra-philosophical presuppositions and
implications of the Wissenschaftslehre, the different senses of
'intellectual intuition' in Fichte's early writings, the
controversial doctrine of the 'check' (Anstoss) upon the free
actions of the I, the various theoretical and practical tasks of
philosophy, the refutation of dogmatism and the 'choice' of a
philosophical standpoint, the relationship of transcendental
idealism to skepticism, the interests of reason, and the
problematic 'primacy of the practical' in Fichte's thought.
