Book synopsis

The theoretical writings from Johann Gottlieb Fichte s short tenure at Jena (1794-99) are among the most difficult and influential works of classical German philosophy. Fichte s appropriation of Kant s transcendental project not only established the framework for the subsequent idealist tradition (Schelling, Hslderlin, Hegel), but also introduced philosophical themes and strategies that would dominate the Continental tradition well into the twentieth century. This book offers a new interpretation of Fichte s Jena system, focusing in particular on the problem of the objectivity of consciousness. The Jena system, the author argues, set out to develop an account of the constitutive structures of subjectivity in virtue of which conscious states have objective content. It is in the context of this project that Fichte s central philosophical innovations must be understood: his account of the acts of self-positing and opposing; his attack on the thing in itself; the development of a dialectical strategy in transcendental inquiry; and his bold assertion of the primacy of practice.
