The transcendental meaning of pure will and moral law in the Wissenschaftslehre nova methodo
Luc Langlois
pp. 331-343
In the first introduction to the Wissenschaftslehre nova methodo (WLnm), Fichte declares the advantage of his new exposition over that presented in the 1794 Grundlage (GWL): "This revised version will profit from the fact that, since the time of the original version, the first principles have been further developed and extended (weiter fortgeführt), and this facilitates a clearer understanding of those principles themselves."1 The whole question is, obviously, to know what is meant by "weiter fortgeführt." In short, a clash of two interpretations occurs over the status of WLnm, which is the second version of the Wissenschaftslehre.
