The Philosophical Rupture between Fichte and Schelling:

The Philosophical Rupture between Fichte and Schelling: Selected Texts and Correspondence (1800-1802) (Contemporary Contin Philosophy)

Correspondence and texts by Fichte and Schelling illuminate their thought and the trajectory of their philosophical falling out. The disputes of philosophers provide a place to view their positions and arguments in a tightly focused way, and also in a manner that is infused with human temperaments and passions. Fichte and Schelling had been perceived as â€œpartnersâ€ in the cause of Criticism or transcendental idealism since 1794, but upon Fichteâ€™s departure from Jena in 1799, each began to perceive a drift in their fundamental interests and allegiances. Schellingâ€™s philosophy of nature seemed to move him toward a realistic philosophy, while Fichteâ€™s interests in the origin of personal consciousness, intersubjectivity, and the ultimate determination of the agentâ€™s moral will moved him to explore what he called â€œfaithâ€ in one popular text, or a theory of an intelligible world. This volume brings together the letters the two philosophers exchanged between 1800 and 1802 and the texts that each penned with the other in mind. â€œThe book presents an unparalleled opportunity to observe an important set of [Fichte and Schellingâ€™s] philosophical exchanges and has the potential to affect oneâ€™s understanding of post-Kantian philosophy in a lasting way â€¦ This well-conceived and carefully edited volume shines a bright light on a crucial and formative time in the lives of both Fichte and Schelling.â€ â€” Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews â€œVater and Wood have given us a real gift: a strong and philosophically provocative edition of this indispensible exchange. A thoughtful and very helpful essay that puts many of the issues into a fresh philosophical perspective precedes the letters, and some of the important primary texts germane to this debate follow them. For lovers of German idealism, this is a text of great interest and its appearance calls for celebration.â€ â€” Jason M. Wirth, author of The Conspiracy of Life: Meditations on Schelling and His Time
