Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Gesamtausgabe / Reihe II: Nachgelassene Schriften. Band 2: Nachgelassene Schriften 1791-1793: Gesamtausgabe der Bayerischen Akademie ... Reihe II. Nachgelasse)

by Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Der Band enthält die erste handschriftliche Fassung des >Versuchs einer Critic aller Offenbarung<, >Religionsphilosophische Reflexionen< und weitere Predigten Fichtes. Darauf folgen die für die Interpersonal- und Gesellschaftstheorie entscheidenden Aufsätze der >Entwürfe zur Zurückforderung der Denkfreiheit<, die inhaltlich weit über die Flugschrift hinausgehen. Die Entwürfe zur Gebhard- und Aenesidemus-Rezension geben Einblick in die Genese der >Wissenschaftslehre<. This volume includes the first manuscript version of >Versuch einer Critik aller Offenbarung<, as well as >Religionsphilosophische Reflexionen< and additional sermons. It also includes the draft version of >Zurückforderung der Denkfreiheit< which goes well beyond the published version and which is of decisive importance for Fichte's social theory and theory of interpersonality. The drafts of the Gebhard and Aenesidemus reviews shed light on the genesis of the >Wissenschaftslehre<.

About the author

Johann Gottlieb Fichte was a German philosopher. He was one of the founding figures of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, a movement that developed from the theoretical and ethical writings of Immanuel Kant. Fichte is often perceived as a figure whose philosophy forms a bridge between the ideas of Kant and the German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Recently, philosophers and scholars have begun to appreciate Fichte as an important philosopher in his own right due to his original insights into the nature of self-consciousness or self-awareness. Like Descartes and Kant before him, the problem of subjectivity and consciousness motivated much of his philosophical rumination. Fichte also wrote political philosophy, and is thought of by some as the father of German nationalism.
His son, Immanuel Hermann Fichte, was also a renowned philosopher.
