Fichte's System of Ethics, originally published in 1798, is at once the most accessible presentation of its author's comprehensive philosophical project, The Science of Knowledge or Wissenschaftslehre, and the most important work in moral philosophy written between Kant and Hegel. This study integrates the discussion of our moral duties into the systematic framework of a transcendental theory of the human subject. Ranging over numerous important philosophical themes, the volume offers a new translation of the work together with an introduction that sets it in its philosophical and historical contexts.

Onomatopoeia II; or Bosheit der Konstitution,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fichte: The System of Ethics (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy) (Paperback)
Johann Fichte - Das Sittenlehre - 'published 22 years after the Full Force of the American Revolution and just 11/9 years after the inking of the U.S. Constitution' - is perhaps the most didactic representation of a subversive psychological definition combined into deductive [but ethical] argumentation through Intuition...from synapse to Will to virtues!!! A simultaneous Integration and Disintegration of The Psychology Of The Mind, it is hard not to wonder if instead it truly represents the propeller (or English to German translation) of A Centrifugal Force Polemic! And though I am working my own centrifugal polemic [Onomatopoeia:]...I surely must mention the potential cause of Newton...but One thing remains to question; Doesn't it's obscurity constitute {and advent} maliciousness[Boshaftigkeit]?!! And then, if Fichte IS NOT fictional...does not Sittenlehre NOW instead represent Wissenshriftslehre! AKRDS
