Die Bestimmung des Menschen. - [FICHTE'S DEFENCE - POSSIBLY HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT]
Berlin, in der Vossischen Buchhandlung, 1800. 8vo. Cont. hcalf w. signs of wear. Upper capital worn, crack to lower front hinge. Corners bumped. Old stamps to title-page and verso of t-p. Some brownspotting. VI, 338 pp.
First edition of Fichte's important ""The Vocation of Man"", the first (and best) work he wrote after having been dismissed from Jena.In the beginning of the 1790'ies Fichte wrote the work ""Versuch einer Kritik aller Offenbahrung"", which Kant approved of and found a publisher for. The work appeared without mention of author on the title-page, and the work was immediately ascribed to Kant, -a better mistake could not have happened for Fichte, and when Kant corrected it, Fichte's reputation was secured. Already at the end of 1793 he was offered a chair teaching philosophy at the University of Jena. In Jena he published several important works, and in 1798 he published an essay ""On the Basis of Our Belief in a Divine Governance of the World"". In this short essay he wished to indicate how a philosophy of religion should be developed in accordance with the principles developed in his ""Wissenschaftslehre"". Because of this Fichte was accused of atheism, and as a consequence he was forced t leave his position and Jena. The matter had greatly escalated and involved a great number of German writers, who wrote articles both for and against Fichte. The whole thing culminated, when Jacobi wrote his ""open letter"", in which he directly accused Fichte's transcendental philosophy of being nihilistic, and Fichte afterwards had to flee to Berlin in the summer of 1799.Fichte was forced to live from giving private lectures and tutorials and also by writing more easily understandable works. The first of these more popular writings is his ""Vocation of Man"", in which he presents the main ideas and notions of his system, especially the moral and religious character of it. The work is considered a brilliant performance, and ""perhaps Fichte's greatest achievement"" (Encycl. Britt.). It was a direct response to Jacobi's misunderstood attack, which had just lost him his position. Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was of one of the founding thinkers of German idealism. He is considered a very important philosopher in at least two respects: 1) as the uniter of the ideas of the two great - Kant and Hegel -, and as an important philosopher in himself, who has contributed originally to the philosophy of the self. By some he is considered the father of German nationalism.
Versuch einer Kritik aller Offenbarung. - [FICHTE'S FIRST MAJOR PUBLICATION]
Köningsberg, Hartung, 1792. 8vo. In contemporary cardboard binding. With traces of old paper title-label to spine. With stamp to front free end-paper and title-page. Author and previous owner's name on contemporary hand to title-page. Light wear to extremities and stain to f. B, otherwise a nice and clean copy. (2), 182 pp.
Rare first edition of Fichte’s first major publication in which he an attempted to apply Immanuel Kant’s critical philosophy - particularly from the Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason - to the concept of revelation (Offenbarung) When Fichte submitted his Versuch einer Kritik aller Offenbarung (“An Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation”) to Kant, the latter was favourably impressed by it and helped find a publisher. Fichte’s name and preface were accidentally omitted from the first edition and the work was ascribed by its earliest readers to Kant himself. When Kant corrected the mistake while commending the essay, Fichte’s reputation was made. ”In the Versuch, Fichte sought to explain the conditions under which revealed religion is possible" his exposition turns upon the absolute requirements of the moral law. Religion itself is the belief in this moral law as divine, and such belief is a practical postulate, necessary in order to add force to the law. The revelation of this divine character of morality is possible only to someone in whom the lower impulses have been, or are, successful in overcoming reverence for the law. In such a case it is conceivable that a revelation might be given in order to add strength to the moral law. Religion ultimately then rests upon the practical reason and satisfies the needs of man, insofar as he stands under the moral law. In this conclusion are evident the prominence assigned by Fichte to the practical element and the tendency to make the moral requirements of the ego the ground for all judgment on reality.” (Encyclipedia Britannica). ""In the history of philosophy, Fichte's thought marks a crucial transitional stage between Kant and post-Kantian philosophy. Fichte radicalized Kant's thought by arguing that human freedom, not external reality, must be the starting point of all systematic philosophy, and in Foundations of Natural Right, thought by many to be his most important work of political philosophy, he applies his ideas to fundamental issues in political and legal philosophy, covering such topics as civic freedom, rights, private property, contracts, family relations, and the foundations of modern political organization.""

First edition of one of, if not the, most important of J.H. Fichte's works, -the first of his larger independant works.Immanuel Hermann Fichte (1796-1879) was the son of Johann Gottlieb Fichte. He himself became a skilled and important theologian and philosopher.In his philosophy Fichte wishes to bridge the gaps between Hegel and Herbert with the aid of Leibnitz. He mainly attacks Hegel for his Pantheism and thus comes to establish a new philosophical movement on these grounds.
