First Edition (Lauth/Jacob 36; Baumgartner/Jacobs A1.36x).The Foundation of the Practical Side of Fichte's System"The practical [side of his system] was expounded in the 'Foundation of Natural Right', c. 1796, and the 'System of a Theory of Morals', 1798" (PMM, p. 147). But Fichte was very far from concentrating exclusively on the theoretical deduction of consciousness. He laid great stress on the moral end of the development of consciousness or, in more concrete terms, on the moral purpose of human existence. And we find him publishing in 1796 the Basis of Natural Right (Grundlage de Naturrechts) and in 1798 The System of Ethics (Das System der Sittenlehre). Both subjects are said to be treated 'according to the principles of the theory of science'. But the works are much more than mere appendages to the Wissenschaftslehre. For they display the true character of Fichte's philosophy, that is, as a system of ethical idealism." (Copleston, 7, I, p. 52) Contemporary brown speckled boards ¾ leather with gilt ruled compartments on the spine with the title and author in gilt on a red field in the second compartment.
