Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre arises out of a particularly stormy period inthe philosopher's personal, academic, and intellectual life. The work heproduced is many things at once: an epistemology or theory of knowledge, aphilosophical anthropology, an ethics or metaethics, the foundation for apolitical theory (Rousseau), the basis for an aesthetic program (Romanticism),perhaps even a philosophy of nature. In the introduction a particular emphasisis placed upon Fichte’s relationship to Kant. However, Fichte is viewed notmerely as a transitional figure on the march from Kant to Hegel but as a significantphilosopher in his own right. Of special interest to students and scholars ofliterature is Seidel’s discussion of the Romantic movement’s indebtedness toFichte. Seidel presents the English and German text of part 1 of the Wissenschaftslehre, followed by acommentary on the text. The work concludes with a summary of parts 2 and 3 ofthe Wissenschaftslehre. An annotatedbibliography surveys the important literature on the philosopher.
