Review Quotes:
"This is a welcome and timely group of translations, and I expect that it will impact English-speaking Fichte scholarship in significant ways. The translators have expertly rendered five important texts from the final six years of Fichte's life, including his lectures on the science of right from 1812 and a multipart dialogue on patriotism composed during the high point of Napoleon's conquests. This volume makes possible a more complete understanding of Fichte's social and political philosophy." - Benjamin D. Crowe, Boston University
