Fichte's methodology in the Wissenschaftslehre (1794–95)

Frederick Neuhouser

pp. 300-319

Abstract

In an eighteen-month period spanning 1794–95 Fichte published the two texts that make up the core of the first and most influential version of his philosophical system, the Wissenschaftslehre. The earlier text, Concerning the Concept of the Wissenschaftslehre (hereafter, Concept), appeared just before Fichte began his first teaching post at the University of Jena. Its purpose was to communicate the aims and method of his new philosophy to prospective students. The second and more important text, Foundation of the Entire Wissenschaftslehre1 (hereafter, Foundation), was also addressed to Fichte's students and written as a supplement to his lectures on the Wissenschaftslehre in 1794–95.
