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.

Fichte's thought marks a crucial transitional stage between Kant and post-Kantian philosophy. Foundations of Natural Right, thought by many to be Fichte's most important work of political philosophy, applies his ideas to fundamental issues in political and legal philosophy, covering such topics as civic freedom, right, private property, contracts, family relations, and the foundations of modern political organization. This volume offers the first complete translation of the work into English, by Michael Baur, together with an introduction by Frederick Neuhouser that sets it in its philosophical and historical context.

Dans l'Essai d'une nouvelle presentation de la doctrine de la science (fin 1797, debut 1798), Fichte, soucieux de s'adresser a un large public, eclaircit les concepts fondamentaux de la doctrine de la science. Eclaircissement de l'oeuvre, cette nouvelle presentation se donne aussi comme la mise en abyme de sa totalite. Fichte y ordonne ses analyses autour de quatre notions cardinales: l'intuition intellectuelle, le Moi, le principe de la refutation des systemes philosophiques anciens (de Spinoza a Kant) et la demarche genetique. Chacune de ces notions traduit la specificite et l'originalite d'un projet que, tout au long de sa vie, Fichte resuma d'un seul mot: doctrine de la science . C'est la signification et l'enjeu de la substitution de ce terme a l'antique nom de philosophie qu'il convient de comprendre pour etre a meme d'apprecier l'indeniable clarte de l'ensemble de l'oeuvre.
