Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Band III,1: Briefe 1775–1793

The introduction to this, the first volume of Part Three, explains the editorial principles of the correspondence volumes. Included is the entire correspondence of Marie Johanne Fichte, née Rahn and niece of Klopstock, from the day of her marriage to Fichte until his death. This volume is primarily devoted to Fichte’s school years and his years as a private tutor. It also includes his correspondence with his fiancé Johanne Rahn and his first letters to Kant. Roughly a third of these letters and drafts of letters are here published for the first time, and many others are published in full for the first time.
