Tion which, though not uncivil, was somewhat cold and reserved. Shortly after he published the Critique of Revelation, which is thoroughly Kantian in spirit and method; and the author's name having been ac cidentally omitted from the title-page it was received and warmly welcomed as a work from the old philoso pher's own hand. When Fichte's authorship was dis closed his reputation was made; and the success of the book enabled Fichte to marry Johanna Rahn in the autumn of 1793. The progress of the French Revolution led Fichte to publish a number of tracts in which the rights of the people were established on the basis of the inherent moral freedom of man. These increased his fame, though they caused him to be regarded by conservatives as a dangerous and radical teacher. In 1794 he was appointed Professor of Philosophy at Jena, then at the zenith of its re nown. Here his success as a lecturer was remark able, but difficulties soon occurred both with unruly students and with the authorities. Owing to an ar tiele Published in the Philosophical Journal, of which he was editor, a cry of atheism was raised against him, the Saxon Government condemning the Jour nal and demanding the expulsion of Fichte. The Grand Duke of Weimar would have settled the mat ter by a formal censure, but Fichte would not sub mit to any semblance of interference with liberty of teaching; and the affair ended with his dismissal from the University. He repaired to Berlin, where he was warmly welcomed by Schelling, the Schlegels, Schleiermacher and other literary men, but the loose morality and vague sentimentality of the Romanticists suited neither Fichte nor his wife, and the friend ship gave way to coldness and in some cases to hos.

Excerpt from The Vocation of Man
"Whatever is great and good in our own age is wholly due to this, that noble and strong men in the past have for the sake of ideas made sacrifice of all the enjoyments of life." This statement of Fichte's is indicative at once of the spirit that pervaded his philosophy and of the principles that governed his life. For him "the idea" was supreme, and the philosopher's life and work the noblest of all careers; but that life and that work had true significance and value only because they led humanity to ever loftier and purer heights. Like Carlyle, who learned so much from him, Fichte perhaps overestimated the part played by the moral hero in the spiritual evolution of the race, and we must admit that his own character was not free from the combativeness and obstinacy which so often accompany great intensity of conviction, yet both in his doctrine and his life his individualism retained always its uplifting and regenerating power. If his opinions were held stubbornly and sometimes promulgated dogmatically, they were ever warmed and illuminated by an ardent moral enthusiasm. Few are the earnest students of speculative thought who after a thorough study of his works will give their unqualified assent to his system as a whole, but perhaps fewer still will fail to glean something of value for thinking and living from the harvest of his philosophy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of human existence, exploring the deepest questions of our being, purpose, and freedom. The author embarks on a philosophical journey, examining the concept of our existence within a vast and interconnected universe governed by immutable laws. Through intricate arguments, the book challenges traditional notions of self and agency, suggesting that our actions and identities are determined by forces beyond our control. Despite the potentially unsettling implications of this theory, the author maintains that it liberates us from the burden of guilt and the illusion of complete autonomy. Ultimately, the book offers a profound and thought-provoking perspective on our place in the cosmos, inviting readers to reconsider the very nature of human existence and the intricate web of causality that shapes our destiny.
