FICHTEANA
An Occasional Newsletter of the North American Fichte Society
No. 13, April 2003
A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR AND (DESKTOP) PUBLISHER
Dear friends and colleagues,
As the enclosed Report on Recent Conferences and Call for Papers indicate, 2002 was yet another productive year for Fichte scholars, and 2003 promises to be even more exciting. The highlight of the coming year is surely the International Fichte Congress to be held this October in Munich. More than 100 scholars from around the world have already indicated their intention to participate in this event, which, with papers in German, English, and French, promises to be truly "international" in character.
Looking ahead to next spring, one can also anticipate the next meeting of the North American Fichte Society, which will be held in Philadelphia in early April of 2004. The topic of this conference will be "Fichte and German Idealism." (This is the same topic announced for the NAFS meeting that was originally scheduled for March 2003 in Chicago, but which had to be cancelled. The Co-Positors of NAFS apologize for any inconvenience this unavoidable cancellation may have caused and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Philadelphia next spring.)
Members of the North American Fichte Society and recipients of this newsletter are particularly invited to enter the new $1,000 Prize Essay Competition on Transcendental Philosophy, established by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Kentucky. For details on this competition, see the announcement below.
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 cordially solicited. Information concerning recent dissertations on Fichte is also requested.
Contributors to this issue of Fichteana include: Kevin Zanelotti, Günter Zöller, Marco Ivaldo, Fred Van der Zee, Christian Klotz, Ch. Kumamoto, and Jean-Christophe Goddard. Special thanks to Erich Fuchs for his assistance with proofreading this issue.

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. 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). If, on the other hand, you have received this newsletter in electronic form (as an e-mail attachment) and would prefer not to receive future issues, please send an e-mail to <breazeal@uky.edu> and your name and address will be promptly removed from the mailing list. |
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 2004 on the campus of St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. (See the "Call for Papers," below.)
There are neither dues nor special membership requirements for the North American Fichte Society. Anyone with an interest in any aspect of the philosophy of J. G. Fichte is welcome and encouraged to join.

April 1-4, 2004 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA The Seventh Biennial [sic!] Meeting of the North American Fichte Society will be held April 1-4, 2004 at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with the cooperation and local sponsorship of the St. Joseph's University. Prof. Arnold Farr will serve as the local coordinator. The conference theme is Fichte's relationship to the broad tradition of "German idealism." Comparative studies between Fichte's philosophy and that of other thinkers in this tradition are welcome. As is the practice of the North American Fichte Society, this conference is open to all interested Fichte scholars, both in North America and elsewhere. We anticipate a very full program, but will do all we can to accommodate as many presentations as possible. In order to facilitate this, it is important to receive responses to this call for papers as early as possible. Paper proposals, including a title and a brief description of the proposed paper, should be sent, no latter than OCTOBER 1, 2003, to Tom Rockmore at the following address: Department of Philosophy Duquesne University Pittsburgh, PA 15282 USA <rockmore@duq.edu> Conference papers should have a maximum reading time of 30 minutes. The language of the conference is English. As in the past, we hope to publish a volume of selected papers from this conference. Though not all of the papers can be published, we nevertheless request that anyone presenting a paper at this conference formally grant the North American Fichte Society the "right of first refusal" for the publication of the same. Please note that no funds will be available from the conference sponsors to support either travel costs or living expenses. (If, however, you require a "letter of invitation" for the purposes of obtaining travel support from your local institutions, that can easily be arranged.) |
