Johann Gottlieb Fichte is considered the father of German Idealism. His philosophy probes the very nature of knowledge and consciousness; hence he refers to his philosophy as a Wissenschaftslehre – a science of knowledge itself.


Wilhelm G. Jacobs presents an introduction to Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre as well as to the philosophical problems of the period around 1800 more generally.
