Frommann-holzboog Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Gesamtausgabe / Reihe II: Nachgelassene Schriften. Band 6: Nachgelassene Schriften 1800–1803

The focus of the texts in this volume is upon Fichte's development of the ›Wissenschaftslehre‹. The central document included in this volume is the version of the Wissenschaftslehre from 1800/01 (which differs from the heavily edited version published by I. H. Fichte). Also included is the ›Privatissimum‹ of 1803, which has been reconstructed from various manuscripts and archival documents and which is thematically connected to the Wissenschaftslehre and points to the version of 1804. Also worthy of attention, alongside poems directed against Reinhold, Nicolai, and Biester, as well as other minor literary efforts, is the manuscript ›Staatswirtschaft‹; which shows Fichte to be a sharp (even sharper than in the ›Handelstaat‹) critic of the relationships of property, production, and money that prevailed during his own age.
