Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Gesamtausgabe / Reihe III: Briefe. Band 8: Briefe 1812–1814; Anhang 1815–1818; Nachträge 1789–1810

The concluding volume of Fichte’s Correspondence includes the letters from the final two years of his life. It also contains a report on Fichte’s philosophical lectures for the government of Vienna and reflections on aesthetics (including architecture) for L.F. Catel. Further topics include the illnesses and deaths of Fichte’s parents in the years 1812 and 1813. The volume is rounded off by a series of newly discovered letters from Fichte’s earlier years, as well as letters from his wife Marie Johanne to the publisher Cotta, and to friends Charlotte von Schiller and Charlotte von Kalb, and to two students (Helmholtz and Schulz) who were close to Fichte. A complete index of names for all the volumes of Fichte’s Correspondence greatly facilitates work with series III.
