Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Band II,4: Nachgelassene Schriften zu Platners ›Philosophischen Aphorismen‹ 1794–1812

The volume contains all of the unpublished material from Fichte’s lectures on »Logic and Metaphysics« (1794 until 1802, plus an excursus from 1812). In these lectures Fichte commented upon Platner’s »Aphorismen,« the most widely read philosophical compendium of the age. After the departure of Fichte, Hegel also lectured in Jena on »Logic and Metaphysics.« Since Fichte comments on practically every one of the 1000 paragraphs of the First Part of Platner’s »Aphorismen,« Platner’s text (which can also be ordered separately) provides an indispensable tool for understanding the idealistic position at the turn of 18th into the 19th century.
