FICHTEANA

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is a pleasure to report that the past year has been yet another astounding one for Fichte Forschung, as is reflected in the fact that this issue of Fichteana is the largest one yet. Some of the highlights of the past year include the appearance of Vol. 10 of Reihe 1 of the magnificent Fichte edition of Bavarian Academy of the Sciences. This is the last volume in the series containing works published by Fichte himself and includes the Reden an die Deutsche Nation, along with a very important editorial introduction to the same. The past year also saw the publication of new English translations of two of Fichte's major works: the System of Ethics (1798) and the second series of lectures on the Wissenschaftslehre from 1804.

As the section of this newsletter devoted to conference reports indicates, there were numerous large and small conferences on Fichte held around the world in the past year and several more are scheduled for 2006, including the eighth meeting of the North American Fichte Society (to be held in Vienna) and the next International Fichte Congress under the auspices of the Internationale Fichte Gesellschaft (to be held in Halle).

The number of publications devoted in whole or part to Fichte continues to grow at a rapid rate as well. It is a special pleasure to be able to announce that the selected proceedings of the San Diego/Del Mar meeting of North American Fichte Society is now in press and should be available from the publisher (Ashgate Publishing Co.) by the time you read this newsletter. In addition, arrangements are being finalized with Northwestern University Press to publish the selected proceedings of Montreal meeting of the North American Fichte Society.

Further information on past and future conferences and events, as well as more information on new publications, may be found in the sections of this newsletter devoted to the same.

As always, information concerning things Fichtean, as well as suggestions, corrections, comments, and criticisms regarding the content and format of this newsletter are very welcome. Detailed information concerning recent and forthcoming publications and conferences -- and, if possible, copies of the former -- are cordially solicited, as is information regarding recent dissertations on Fichte.

The editor would like to express his sincere thanks to Erich Fuchs, Curtis Bowman, Carla De Pascale, Walter Wright, Tom Rockmore, Marco Ivaldo, Alois Soller, Marieke Schilling, Giovanni Cogliandro, Isabelle Thomas-Fogiel, Simone Furlani, Hitoshi Minobe, Chukei Kumamoto, Katsuaki Okada, Ernst-Otto Onnasch, Jean-Christophe Goddard, and Günter Zöller for their contributions to this issue of Fichteana.

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 conference was held in the spring of 2004 on the campus of St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, and the eighth will be held in March 2006 in Vienna, Austria.

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 Eighth Biennial Meeting of the North American Fichte Society will be held in Vienna, Austria, with the cooperation of the Institut für Philosophie of the Universität Wien. Local arrangements will be coordinated by Dr. Violetta Waibel.
