FICHTEANA
An Occasional Newsletter of the North American Fichte Society
Dear friends and colleagues,
Once again, the past few months have been exciting and eventful ones. Some of the more notable events include the publication of several new special journal issues devoted to Fichte; the publication and/or announcement of several new (or newly revised) translations of texts by Fichte, including a reissue of William Smith's The Popular Works of J. G. Fichte in two volumes; the further development (by Curtis Bowman) of the newly established "Fichte Site" on the World Wide Web; the publication of a new issue of Fichte-Studien, as well as numerous monographs, collections of essays, and scholarly papers devoted to various aspects of Fichte's thought and influence. Information on all of these publications and events is contained in this issue of Fichteana, which also includes new information concerning the Montreal meeting of the North American Fichte Society.
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. Contributors to this issue of Fichteana include: Ives Radrizzani, Marco Ivaldo, Chukei Kumamoto, Jean-Christophe Merle, Manfred Gawlina, Christoph Asmuth, Adriano Bugliani, Erich Fuchs, Helmut Girndt, and Violetta Waibel. Janet Roccanova and Kevin Zanelotti assisted with the proof-reading.
Finally, a reminder to every reader of this newsletter who has access to the World Wide Web: Please notify me of this as soon as possible so that I can remove your name from the mailing list and add it to the growing list of those to be immediately notified via e-mail whenever a new issue of "Fichteana" is published -- and simultaneously posted on the NAFS website. Thank you.

Constantly rising costs of producing and mailing Fichteana make it necessary once again to trim the mailing list. If you are currently receiving this newsletter and would like to continue to receive it, 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. 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: $10.) Financial contributions are not solicited 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 are urged to cancel their subscriptions to Fichteana and to access it henceforth through the new NAFS Website (see below). Please notify me if you have web access to this newsletter. |
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; and the fourth was held in the spring of 1997 on the campus of Marquette University in Milwaukee. The fifth biennial conference will be held May 12 - 16, 1999 in Montréal, Québec (see below).
There are no 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. For further information, contact either Daniel Breazeale (at the above address) or Tom Rockmore, Department of Philosophy, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, ROCKMORE@DUQ. EDU).
Selected proceedings of the first two meetings of the North American Fichte Society were published by Humanities Press International (recently purchased by Humanity Books). The selected proceedings of the 1991 Duquesne conference, edited by Breazeale and Rockmore under the title Fichte: Historical Contexts/Contemporary Controversies, were published in 1994. The selected proceedings of the 1993 Denver conference, edited by Rockmore and Breazeale, were published in 1996 under the title New Perspectives on Fichte. The unexpected bankruptcy of Humanities Press is responsible for a long and regrettable delay in the production of the selected proceedings of the 1995 Shakertown conference, New Studies in Fichte's Foundation of the Entire Wissenschaftslehre (1794/95), ed. Breazeale and Rockmore, as well as for an equally long delay in editing the selected proceedings of the 1997 Milwaukee conference. Fortunately, both of these projects are once again under way, and both volumes will be published in the near future by Humanity Books.
The Internationale Johann-Gottlieb-Fichte-Gesellschaft (IFG) was founded in December of 1987 in the Federal Republic of Germany "in partnership with the Japanese Fichte Society." The members of the board of directors are Helmut Girndt (President), Helmut Traub (Secretary), Klaus Hammacher (Treasurer), and Ives Radrizzani. The IFG sponsors frequent meetings and conferences in Germany and other European countries (see below) and also publishes the journal Fichte-Studien, plus a series of supplemental monographs (Fichte-Studien, Supplementa). Annual membership dues are 30 DM. For further information contact Prof. Helmut Girndt, Gutenbergstrasse 63, D-40235 Dusseldorf, BRD (Girndt@mail.isis.de).
Fichte-Studien. Beiträge zur Geschichte und Systematik der Transzendentalphilosophie is an irregularly appearing publication founded in 1990 by the Internationale Fichte-Gesellschaft and is currently edited by Professors Helmut Girndt and Wolfgang H. Schrader. To date, fourteen thick issues of Fichte-Studien have appeared. For information concerning individual and institutional subscriptions, as well as concerning other Fichte titles by the same publisher, contact Editions Rodopi, 2015 South Place, Atlanta, GA 30339, USA (telephone: 800-225-3998; fax: 770-933-9644).

It is a pleasure to announce the establishment of the first Webpage to be devoted entirely to Fichte. This new site is designed and administered by Curtis Bowman and includes, among other things, all back issues of "Fichteana," as well as the current issue. All readers of Fichteana with web access are urged to notify the editor/publisher of this fact, so that your name can be removed from the mailing list in order to save unnecessary costs of duplication and postage. The web address of the new Fichte page is: <http://www.phil.upenn.edu/~cubowman/fichte>. |

The North American Fichte Society will hold its fifth biennial meeting, May 12 - 16, 1999 in Montréal, Québec. The theme of this conference will be "The Later Philosophy of J. G. Fichte," which is in this case defined to include everything written and/or published by Fichte after the completion of Die Bestimmung des Menschen in 1800 -- including all of the versions of the "later Wissenschaftslehre" (beginning with the Darstellung der Wissenschaftslehre of 1801/2, as well as Fichte's more "popular" writings of the period after 1800). In addition, there will be a short preliminary session on "Fichte and Husserl." Conference sponsors are the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies (Montréal), Concordia University, and the Université de Montréal. The local organizers are Vladimir Zeman (Concordia University) and Claude Piché (Université de Montréal). The deadline for submissions of paper topics is now past. 34 scholars from North America and Europe have announced their intention to participate in what should be an unusually interesting (and busy) conference. The conference will take place in the Hotel "Tour Versailles" (Best Western), 1808 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal, Québec, Canada H32H 1E5 (Phone: within North America: 888-933-8111; outside North America: 514-933-8111.) For further information, including a tentative conference program, contact either Daniel Breazeale or Tom Rockmore. It is anticipated that the selected proceedings of this conference will eventually be published. |
The International Fichte Gesellschaft expects to host an international Fichte Conference in Berlin in October, 2000. The announced theme of the conference is "Fichte's late philosophy," but it may also include sessions on "philosophy and life" and "Fichte and Maimon." For further information, contact Helmut Girndt, President of the I.F.G. (see above).
A conference on Schelling's Einleitung in die Philosophie will be held at the "les trois Hiboux" conference center in Pont de Cirou, France, from September 4-11, 1999, under the direction of Alfred Denker and Walter E. Ehrhardt.
