Johann Gottlieb Fichte was een Duitse filosoof en een spilfiguur in het Duitse idealisme. Zijn werk vormt een cruciale brug tussen de ideeën van Immanuel Kant en Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Fichte's filosofische overpeinzingen werden diep gemotiveerd door de aard van zelfbewustzijn en waarneming, waardoor hij in gesprek ging met denkers als Descartes en Kant. Zijn bijdragen strekten zich ook uit tot de politieke filosofie, waarbij zijn gedachten over nationaal bewustzijn het Duitse denken aanzienlijk beïnvloedden.
"Fichte's Foundations of Transcendental Philosophy is highly relevant to ongoing discussions of the relationship of consciousness to human freedom and to current debates concerning foundationalism. Philosophers interested in German idealism and others working in the history of philosophy, German literature, and intellectual history will welcome this translation."--BOOK JACKET.

The narrative explores the roots of a philosopher from a humble, industrious community that values honesty and uprightness. His grandfather, a ribbon maker, passed down a modest trade, leading to the philosopher's father, Christian Fichte, who expanded the family business through an apprenticeship. Christian's marriage to his master's daughter marked a significant personal achievement, and their first child, born in 1762, was prophesied to achieve greatness. The memoir delves into themes of heritage, perseverance, and the impact of early education on future success.

In the winter of 1807, while Berlin was occupied by French troops, the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte presented fourteen public lectures that have long been studied as a major statement of modern nationalism. Yet Fichtes Addresses to the German Nation have also been interpreted by many as a vision of a cosmopolitan alternative to nationalism. This new edition of the Addresses is designed to make Fichtes arguments more accessible to English-speaking readers. The clear, readable, and reliable translation is accompanied by a chronology of the events surrounding Fichtes life, suggestions for further reading, and an index. The groundbreaking introductory essay situates Fichtes theory of the nation state in the history of modern political thought. It provides historians, political theorists, and other students of nationalism with a fresh perspective for considering the interface between cosmopolitanism and republicanism, patriotism and nationalism.
