FICHTEANA

Dear friends and colleagues,

This third number of Fichteana continues the project inaugurated with issue no. 1 (November 1993) and no. 2 (June 1994), the goal of which is to contribute to the current revival of interest in Fichte and transcendental philosophy in the anglophone world. 1994/95, the bicentennial anniversary of the original publication of the Grundlage der gesamten Wissenschaftslehre, was a banner year for Fichte studies not only in North America but around the world, as is indicated by the exceptional number of conferences on Fichte's philosophy that were held during the past year and by the number of special "Fichte issues" of professional journals that were published or announced. This issue of Fichteana includes reports on many of these conferences and summaries of the contents of many of these new publications, as well as the usual information concerning new editions of Fichte's works, new translations of his writings into various languages, and recent books and articles on or relating to Fichte and the Wissenschaftslehre. This issue also includes a brief announcement of English translations currently in progress.

As interest in Fichte has continued to grow, so too has the mailing list for Fichteana, this issue of which is being sent to over 150 recipients. This growth in the mailing list has, of course, been accompanied by a corresponding increase in production and mailing costs. Until now, all such costs have been absorbed by the editor/publisher and by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Kentucky. This, however, will no longer be possible, and thus I must ask those of you who are able and willing to do so to make a small, voluntary financial contribution to help defray the costs of producing and mailing future issues of Fichteana. I also intend to trim the current mailing list in order to eliminate the names of all those who are not interested in receiving future issues of this newsletter. Accordingly, this issue includes a "call for subscriptions and request for financial contributions." Future issues of Fichteana will continue to be sent, free of charge, to anyone who requests to be included on the mailing list. If you wish to continue receiving Fichteana, please take the time to send me a note or an E-Mail message confirming your interest and current mailing address.

As always, information concerning things Fichtean, as well as suggestions, corrections, comments, and criticisms regarding the content and format of this newsletter are welcome. Any information on recent and forthcoming publications and events is particularly solicited.

The North American Fichte Society was founded in 1991 by Daniel Breazeale and Tom Rockmore, who continue to serve as "Co-Positers" 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; and the third was held in the spring of 1995 at Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. The fourth meeting of the North American Fichte Society is tentatively scheduled to be held in the spring of 1997 at Marquette University in Milwaukee.

Selected proceedings of past and future meetings of the North American Fichte Society have been and will continue to be published by Humanities Press International. The selected proceedings of the Duquesne conference, edited by Breazeale and Rockmore under the title Fichte: Historical Contexts/Contemporary Controversies, were published in 1994. The proceedings of the Denver conference, edited by Rockmore and Breazeale, will be published in December of 1995 under the title New Perspectives on Fichte.

There are no dues or 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 to join. This can be done by contacting either Daniel Breazeale, at the address listed above, or Tom Rockmore, Department of Philosophy, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, USA (ROCKMORE@DQ3.CC.DUQ.EDU).

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." At a meeting of the membership held in conjunction with the recent Jena conference (September 1994), Prof. Wolfgang Schrader was re-elected for a second term as president of the IFG. Elected to the expanded board of directors were Profs. Helmut Girndt, Peter Oesterreich, and Marek Siemek. Prof. Wolfgang Janke was elected Honorary President.. The Internationale Fichte-Gesellschaft sponsors frequent meetings and conferences in Germany and other European countries. Though some of these meetings are limited to invited participants, others are open to anyone. In addition, the Internationale Fichte-Gesellschaft publishes the journal Fichte-Studien, plus a series of supplemental monographs (Fichte-Studien, Supplementa). Annual memership dues are 30 DM. For further information contact Prof. Helmut Girndt, Dorfstraße 9, 40629 Düsseldorf, Federal Republic of Germany.

Fichte studies are currently enjoying a dramatic renaissance in Italy, as is indicated by the number of new translations and publications on Fichte that have appeared in the past few years. The first Italian Fichte conference was held in Naples, November 10-12, 1992, in celebration of the bicentennial of the publication of Fichte's Versuch einer Kritik aller Offenbarung. The theme was "Transcendental Thought and Ethical Challenges," and eight papers were presented by participants from Italy, Switzerland, Poland, France, Spain, and Germany. More recently, a one-day conference on Fichte was held at the University of Genoa, and another will be held in Naples at the end of April 1995 (see below).

Leading current Italian Fichte scholars include: Carla Amadio (Macerata), Salvatore Azzaro, Claudio Cesa (Pisa), Giuseppe Duso (Padova), Luca Fonnesu (Firenze), Carla de Pascale (Bologna), Marco Ivaldo (Naples), Aldo Masullo (Naples), and Pasquale Salvucci. Both Cesa and Salvucci have recently published general works on Fichte's philosophy, while Ivaldo, Amadio, and Fonnesu, have all written extensively on Fichte's ethics. New Italian translations of the Jena Naturrecht and Sittenlehre, as well as of the 1803 Wissenschaftslehre have also appeared. (For details concerning these and other recent publications, see the bibliography at the end of this issue of Fichteana.)

Finally, the Istituto italiano per gli studi filosofici (Naples) has inaugurated a new series of publications by and about Fichte, under the general editorship of Reinhold Lauth and Marco Ivaldo. The title of this new series is "Fichtiana," and the first volume will appear in 1995.

(Thanks to Prof. Marco Ivaldo for furnishing the information upon which this report is based.)

Fichte-Studien. Beiträge zur Geschichte und Systematik der Transzendentalphilosophie is an irregularly appearing publication sponsored by the Internationale Fichte-Gesellschaft and currently edited by Professors Helmut Girndt and Wolfgang H. Schrader. To date, there have been five issues of Fichte-Studien, beginning with vol. 1 (1990). The most recent issue is vol. 6 (see below).
