Considered by some to be his most important text, this series of
lectures given by Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) at his home in
Berlin in 1804 is widely regarded as the most perspicuous
presentation of his fundamental philosophy. Now available in
English, this translation provides in striking and original
language Fichte's exploration of the transcendental foundations of
experience and knowing in ways that go beyond Kant and Reinhold and
charts a promising, novel pathway for German Idealism. Though a
close examination of this work one can see that Fichte's though is
much than a way station between Kant and Hegel, and thus it makes
the case for Fichte's independent philosophical importance. The
text is divided into two parts: a doctrine of truth or reason, and
a doctrine of appearance. A central feature of the text is its
performative dimension. Philosophy, for Fichte, is something we
enact rather than any discursively expressible object of awareness:
a philosophical truth is not expressible as a set of propositions
but is a spontaneous inwardly occurring realization. Therefore, he
always regards the expression of philosophy in words as strategic,
aiming to ignite philosophy's essentially inward process and to
arouse the event of philosophical insight. The new translation
contains a German-English glossary and an extensive introduction
and notes by the translator.
