FICHTE, Johann Gottlieb

Beschreibung

First edition of Fichte's 'System of Ethics', the most important work in moral philosophy written between Kant and Hegel. This is Fichte's longest single book. Adickes 1333. Fichte's ethics integrates the discussion of our moral duties into the systematic framework of a transcendental theory of the human subject. Its major philosophical themes include the practical nature of self-consciousness, the relation between reason and volition, the reality of one's own body and those of other people, and the practical necessity of social relations between human beings. After a long period of neglect, '[a] real boom in Fichte studies has come in the past four decades, during which the Wissenschaftslehre has once again become the object of intense philosophical scrutiny and lively, world-wide discussion - as is evidenced by the establishment of large and active professional societies devoted to Fichte in Europe, Japan, and North America' (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 8vo, [ii], xviii, [iv], 494 pp., contemporary pale yellow boards with a few marks and one small worm trace, worn at extremities, all edges green, some loss to spine label, no stamps or inscriptions, uniform light browning and occasional spots, a very good copy.
