Dear friends and colleagues,
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 Socieity (NAFS) are both currently in production and will be published in 2001 by, respectively, Humanity Books and Northwestern University Press (see below). Plans are also also moving ahead for publication of selected proceedings of the recent conference in Montréal.
Equally newsworthy is the forthcoming (sixth) biennial conference of the North American Fichte Society, which will take place March 22-25, 2001 in the environs of San Diego, California. The theme of this conference is "The Political, Social, and Legal Philosophy of J. G. Fichte." Twenty scholars have already indicated an interest in presenting their work at this conference, but further proposals are also welcome. The deadline for proposals is October 31, 2000. For further details see the "Call for Papers," 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 particularly solicited. Information concerning recent dissertations on Fichte is also requested. Contributors to this issue of Fichteana include: Helmut Girndt, Kevin Zanelotti, Jean-Christophe Goddard, Erich Fuchs, and Marco Ivaldo. Once again, Janet Roccanova and Kevin Zanelotti assisted with the 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; and the fifth biennial conference was held in May 1999 in Montréal, Québec. The sixth will be held in the spring of 2001 in San Diego. (See "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.

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 selected proceedings of the 1995 Shakertown conference, New Studies in Fichte's Foundation of the Entire Doctrine of Scientific Knowledge, will be published in 2001 by Humanity Books, and the selected proceedings of the 1997 Milwaukee conference, New Essays on Fichte's Later Jena Wissenschaftslehre (1795-1799), will be published in 2001 by Northwestern University Press.

The North American Fichte Society maintains the first web site devoted entirely to Fichte. This site is designed and administered by Dr. 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 URL for the NAFS Fichte Page is <http://www.phil.upenn.edu/~cubowman/fichte>. |
The Internationale Fichte Gesellschaft will sponsor an International Fichte Conference at the Humboldt Universität in Berlin during the second week of October, 2000. More than 80 scholars from all over the world are currently scheduled to present papers in 12 different, thematically organized conference sections. Further information is available on the web at <http://www.fichte.ping.de>.
This conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal during the last week of October 2000 and is sponsored by the Istituto de Estudos Filsósoficos do Conhecimento, Lógica e Liniguagem - Universidad Nova de Lisboa." Twenty scholars from Europe and North America will present invited papers on the announced themes. For further information, contact Prof. Maria Luisa Cuoto Soares, Professora do Departamento de Filosfia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Avenida de Berna, 26 C, Lisbon, Portugal <luisacoutosoares@hotmail.com>.

San Diego, March 22-25, 2001
The Sixth Biennial Meeting of the North American Fichte Society will be held in the Spring of 2001 in San Diego, California. In recognition and celebration of the (forthcoming) publication by Cambridge University Press of a new English translation (by Michael Baur, and edited by Frederick Neuhouser) of the 1796/97 Grundlage des Naturrechts, the theme of the conference will be "The Political, Social, and Legal Philosophy of J. G. Fichte." Prof. Wayne Martin of the University of California--San Diego will serve as local conference organizer. The sponsors are the North American Fichte Society, the University of California at San Diego Center for the Humanities, and the UCSD German Studies Program. The conference will begin Thursday morning, March 22 and end Sunday afternoon, March 25, 2001 and will be held at the Stratford Inn in Del Mar, California. Conference rate for the hotel is $85 per room, whether single or double occupancy (including continental breakfast), or $119 for a "suite" (viz., a larger room with a sofa and bar). Inquires and reservations should be directed to: 710 Camino Del Mar Del Mar, CA 92014 phone: (858) 755 1501 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 another crowded schedule of conference papers, 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. If you wish to present a paper at our Spring 2001 conference in San Diego, please inform me of your topic and tentative title NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 31, 2000. Conference papers should have a maximum reading time of 30 minutes. The language of the conference is English. As before, 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. As usual, no funds will be available from the conference sponsors to support either travel to and from the conference or living expenses while attending the conference. (If you require a "letter of invitation" for the purposes of obtaining travel support from your local institutions, that can be arranged.) |
