A founding figure of German idealism, Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) developed a radically new version of transcendental idealism. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Fichte follows his intellectual life and presents a comprehensive overview of Fichte's dynamic philosophy, from his engagement with Kant to his rigorously systematic and nuanced Wissenschaftslehre and beyond.

Covering a variety of topics and issues in epistemology, ontology, moral and political philosophy, as well as philosophy of right and philosophy of religion, an international team of experts on Fichte explores his important contributions to philosophy. Arranged chronologically, their chapters map Fichte’s intellectual and philosophical development and the progression of his thought, identifying what motivated his philosophical inquiry and revealing why his ideas continue to shape discussions today.

Alongside wide-ranging chapters advancing new insights into Fichte, there are topical discussions of conceptions and issues central to his philosophy. Featuring a chronology of Fichte’s life, as well as a timeline of his publications and lectures, this is an invaluable research resource for all Fichte scholars and a reliable guide for anyone undertaking a study of Fichte and German idealism.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Fichte

An extraordinarily comprehensive collection of essays by many, if not most, of the world’s leading authorities on Fichte. A major and most welcome contribution to the scholarly exposition and critical interpretation of Fichte's entire philosophy, including the works of his later period. An essential resource for both beginning students and specialists in the field. * Daniel Breazeale, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Kentucky, USA * This is an impressive collection of articles by authoritative scholars. Every Fichte scholar should own it. * Frederick C. Beiser, Professor of Philosophy, Syracuse University, USA * This handbook is game-changer. It is the indispensable tool Fichte scholars and students have long been waiting for. It covers all aspects of Fichte’s philosophy and even offers a useful survey of its key-concepts and problems. * Angelica Nuzzo, Professor of Philosophy, Graduate Center and Brooklyn College, CUNY, USA *
