Johann Gottlieb Fichte: Gesamtausgabe / Reihe I: Werke. Band 5: Werke 1798–1799

This volume begins with the classical text for Fichte's ethics, ›Das System der Sittenlehre‹; which also contains important principles of the Wissenschaftslehre not included in the ›Grundlage‹. The writings concerning the »atheism controversy«, ›Ueber den Grund unseres Glaubens an eine göttliche Weltregierung‹ and ›Appellation an das Publikum‹; show Fichte hotly engaged in polemical controversy with Protestant philosophy of religion. He presents himself in these works as a defender of rational theology (in the transcendental sense).
