Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Gesamtausgabe / Reihe II: Nachgelassene Schriften. Band 5: Nachgelassene Schriften 1796–1801

Hitherto, only a portion of Fichte's many written responses to Schellingian idealism have been published. The volume includes all of this material up to 1801 and thus offers a complete documentation of this exchange. It also includes additional unpublished or only partially published texts concerning the atheism controversy and concerning Fichte's controversies with Reinhold and Biester, as well as a ›Theorie des Wechsel-Rechts‹. After years of work, the editors were able to reconstruct from a collection of disorganized pages a ›Neue Bearbeitung der Wissenschaftslehre‹, written by Fichte in October 1800.
