This is the first translation of Fichte's addresses to the German
nation for almost 100 years. The series of 14 speeches, delivered
whilst Berlin was under French occupation after Prussia's
disastrous defeat at the Battle of Jena in 1806, is widely regarded
as a founding document of German nationalism, celebrated and
reviled in equal measure. Fichte's account of the distinctiveness
of the German people and his belief in the native superiority of
its culture helped to shape German national identity throughout the
nineteenth century and beyond. With an extensive introduction that
puts Fichte's argument in its intellectual and historical context,
this edition brings an important and seminal work to a modern
readership. All of the usual series features are provided,
including notes for further reading, chronology, and brief
biographies of key individuals.
