The Vocation of the Scholar

***
In these Lectures, delivered at Jena in 1794, Fichte sets forth, with that energy of thought and fervency of style which are his peculiar characteristics, the Vocation of Man as an Individual, and as a Member of Society; the sources of the different Classes into which Society is divided, and the duties arising from these distinctions; and lastly, the Vocation of that particular Class whose separate calling has its origin in the common desire of man to know, and who have chosen the acquisition and imparting of knowledge as their share in the general labours of the race;—assigning the duties of the Scholar, as the Teacher and Guide of Mankind, the highest place among the varied forms of human activity; and to the Scholar himself, in so far as he worthily fulfils these duties, the most honourable place in human society. The fundamental principle of this doctrine, which places the true Vocation of Man in the continual advancement of culture, is illustrated by contrast in an examination of Rousseau's celebrated paradox concerning the influence of Art and Science on the well-being of Man and is distinguished by the same high moral tone, and manly, vigorous expression which characterize all Fichte's works in the German, and is nothing lost in Mr. Smith's clear, unembarrassed, and thoroughly English translation."
This excellent translation of one of the best of Fichte's works is presented in a very I neat form. . . No class needs an earnest and sincere spirit more than the literary class: and therefore the ' Vocation of the Scholar,' was written in Fichte's most earnest, most commanding temper, will be welcomed in its English dress all readers, and be beneficial to the cause of truth."
