The Vocation of the Scholar - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Fichte's lectures on the vocation of the scholar (first published in 1794 and translated into English by William Smith, in the 1850s) are a comprehensive statement of the most basic philosophical principles of the Enlightenment. They provide a general idea of what Enlightenment thinkers hoped to accomplish in the area of morality, education, self-realization, and general culture. Their basic assumption was that progress in all areas of culture can be measured by the degree to which raw nature has been subjugated to and harnessed by the power and realization of reason.
