DOWNLOAD EBOOKLectures from the late period of Fichtes career, never before available in English. Translated here for the first time into English, this text furnishes a new window into the final phase of Fichtes career. Delivered in the summer of 1812 at the newly founded University of Berlin, Fichtes lectures on ethics explore some of the key concepts and issues in his evolving system of radical idealism. Addressing moral theory, the theory of education, the philosophy of history, and the philosophy of religion, Fichte engages both directly and indirectly with some of his most important contemporaries and philosophical rivals, including Kant, Schelling, and Hegel. Benjamin D. Crowes translation includes extensive annotations and a German-English glossary. His introduction situates the text systematically, historically, and institutionally within an era of cultural ferment and intellectual experimentation, and includes a bibliography of recent scholarship on Fichtes moral theory and on the final period of his career.
