Johann Gottlieb Fichte

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the life, work and influence of the philosopher who had a decisive impact on German philosophy after Kant, based on the latest research. For the first time, Fichte's writings – many of which have only become accessible with the publication of the complete edition since 1962 – are presented in a comprehensive and detailed manner. A well-researched biography, concise articles on key concepts and contributions on previously neglected aspects of his historical impact make this book an indispensable reference work. Around 80 international authors paint a multi-layered and nuanced portrait of a central figure in Western intellectual history.
