The first translation of a major work of political philosophy by J. G. Fichte, as well several additional works that help contextualize some of his other widely misunderstood translated work.

After moving from Jena to Berlin, J. G. Fichte continued to develop and revise his political philosophy. The 1812 Doctrine of Right and Other Political Writings contains most of the major works by Fichte in this period. It includes several pieces, unpublished in Fichte's lifetime, that help contextualize his most well-known work, The Addresses to the German Nation (1807-1808). In addition, this volume contains two lecture series from Fichte's return to teaching at the University of Berlin. The first, Lectures on the Vocation of the Scholar (1811), revisits the topic of the purpose of the philosophical life that Fichte had discussed several times prior in his career. The second, The Doctrine of Right (1812), amplifies and revises his theory of justice, law, and contract that he had originally published in his Foundations of Natural Right (1797-1798).
