“The purpose of this monograph is to make a careful study of Fichte’s conception of the ultimate principle. In his various writings the principle appears under many different names. ‘The Ego,’ ‘the Idea of the Ego,’ ‘the moral world-order,’ ‘God,’ ‘the Absolute,’ ‘Being,’ ‘the Light,’ are some of the phrases by which it is most commonly designated.
The references to Fichte’s writings are to the Sammtliche Werke (Berlin, 1845-1846, 8 vols.) and to the Nachgelassene Werke (Bonn, 1834-1835, 3 vols.).” E. B. T. Mount Holyoke College
