FICHTEANA
An Occasional Newsletter of the North American Fichte Society
No. 11, August 2001
Dear friends and colleagues,
Surely it is an indication of the robust health of Fichte studies worldwide that this, the eleventh issue of Fichteana is by far the largest yet. With each passing year the number of monographs, scholarly articles, special issues of philosophical journals, public lectures, symposia, conferences, and international congresses devoted to Fichte and the Wissenschaftslehre grows ever larger. It is a pleasure to observe these long-overdue developments and to report on them in this manner. May the next issue be larger still!
The big news in North American Fichte studies is that the long-delayed volumes of selected papers from the 1995 Shakertown and the 1997 Marquette conferences of the North American Fichte Society (NAFS) are both currently in production and will be published in the near future by, respectively, Humanity Books and Northwestern University Press (see below). Plans are also moving ahead for publication of selected proceedings of the Montréal conference.
Equally newsworthy is the successful biennial conference (our sixth such conference) of the North American Fichte Society, which took place March 22-25, 2001 in the environs of San Diego, California. More than two dozen papers were presented on the theme "The Political, Social, and Legal Philosophy of J. G. Fichte." Taking advantage of the proximity of the Pacific Ocean, this conference also featured what is surely the world's first Fichte Beach Party. Wayne Martin is to be congratulated for his superb work as local conference coordinator. A number of other conferences on Fichte and German Idealism were also held over the past half year, including a major conference sponsored by the International Fichte Society at the Humboldt University in Berlin, as well as the first Fichte conference ever to be held in Portugal. (For details on these and other conferences, see below.)
This issue also contains the first announcements of two future Fichte conferences, one in Chicago in the spring of 2003 and another in Munich in the fall of 2003. (See below, "Call for Papers.")
As always, information concerning things Fichtean, as well as suggestions, corrections, comments, and criticisms regarding the content and format of this newsletter are welcome. Detailed information concerning recent and forthcoming publications and conferences -- and, if possible, copies of the former -- are particularly solicited. Information concerning recent dissertations on Fichte is also requested. Contributors to this issue of Fichteana include: Marco Ivaldo, Kevin Zanelotti, Jacinto Rivera de Rosales, Faustino Fabbianelli, Matteo Vincenzo d'Alfonso, Günter Zöller, Erich Fuchs, Franck Fischbach, and Scott Scribner. Once again, thanks are due to Janet Roccanova for her expert proof-reading.

Constantly rising costs of producing and mailing Fichteana make it necessary to trim the surface mailing list from time to time. If you are currently receiving this newsletter in hard copy form and would like to continue to receive it in this form, please take the time to notify the editor of your continuing interest. Otherwise, it will be assumed that you do not wish to receive future issues of Fichteana in the mail. Subscription to Fichteana will continue to be free to anyone who requests it, though non-student subscribers in North America are cordially encouraged to make a small, voluntary financial contribution to help defray the costs of producing and mailing future issues. (Suggested contribution: $15.) Financial contributions are solicited neither from students nor from scholars residing outside of North America. The editor/publisher would like to express his special thanks to everyone who has responded to earlier appeals for contributions. Without your support it would not be possible to continue publishing and distributing this newsletter. (An asterisk after your name on the address label indicates that your contribution has been received and recorded.) Please note: all recipients with access to the World Wide Web or the ability to receive e-mail attachments are urged to cancel their subscriptions to the hard copy version of Fichteana and to access it henceforth through the NAFS Website (see below). Please notify the editor if you have web access to this newsletter or are able to receive it as an e-mail attachment. |
The North American Fichte Society (NAFS) was founded -- or "posited" -- in 1991 by Daniel Breazeale and Tom Rockmore, who continue to serve as Co-Positors of the same. To date, the activity of the North American Fichte Society has been limited to sponsoring biennial conferences. Our first conference was held in the spring of 1991 on the campus of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh; the second was held in the spring of 1993 on the campus of the University of Denver; the third was held in the spring of 1995 at Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky; the fourth was held in the spring of 1997 on the campus of Marquette University in Milwaukee; the fifth was held in May 1999 in Montréal, Québec, and the sixth was held in March of 2001 in Del Mar/La Jolla, California. The seventh biennial conference will be held in the spring of 2003 in Chicago, Illinois. (See "Call for Papers," below.)
