The lectures mark a dramatic shift in the terminology and methodology he uses to explore the nature of knowledge and reality as presented in his philosophical system, the \u003ci\u003eWissenschaftslehre\u003c\/i\u003e. Although not published during his lifetime, Fichte's 1804 lectures provide a systematic update to his philosophy of knowledge and being, which was only hinted at in print in popular presentations like \u003ci\u003eCharacteristics of the Present Age\u003c\/i\u003e (1805) and \u003ci\u003eThe Way Towards the Blessed Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1806). In fact, these lectures contain Fichte's first public articulation of his philosophical position in the wake of the professional disaster of the \"atheism controversy.\" This volume of new essays not only offers readers novel interpretations of the lectures but also introduces and clarifies key concepts, debates the relationship of the lectures to Fichte's Jena presentation of the \u003ci\u003eWissenschaftslehre\u003c\/i\u003e, and examines issues related to his method and system of idealism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Crowe\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Philosophy at Boston University.
