Amazon.com description: Product Description: This collection marks a new era of Anglophone research into the philosophy of J.G. Fichte, both in its historical context and in its relationship to contemporary controversies.

Several of the essays demonstrate the relevance of Fichte's thought to current debates over philosophical "foundationalism." Others address such topics as the relationship between morality and law, the role of the imagination, the connection between self-consciousness and intersubjectivity, the status of language, the dialectical character of philosophy, and the relationship between Fichte's philosophy and that of such thinkers as Leibniz, Schelling, Heidegger, and Tugenhat.

This volume also includes the first complete bibliography of English translations of Fichte's writings and of works in English dealing with every aspect of Fichte's thought, which will prove an invaluable research tool for anyone working in this area.

The collection will appeal to all scholars, teachers, and students with a general interest in German idealism, as well as specifically in the philosophy of Fichte. It provides both an excellent overview of the current state of research in this field and pointers for future studies.
