This is the second volume of the first section of Johann Gottlieb Fichte's collected works (
Sämmtliche Werke
), originally published in German. Fichte (1762-1814) was a seminal figure in the development of German Idealism. This volume offers insights into his evolving philosophical system and his contributions to ethics, political theory, and metaphysics.
Readers interested in the history of philosophy, particularly the development of post-Kantian thought, will find this an invaluable resource. Fichte's work remains relevant for understanding the trajectory of modern philosophy and its engagement with questions of subjectivity, freedom, and the nature of consciousness.
