I want to read some of the lesser known philosophers of German Idealism, ie anyone other than Hegel and Schopenhauer.

How do you go about getting into Fichte?

Well, as far as I know there is no complete translation of the Wissenschaftslehre but there are parts of it and lectures on it translated. Pics are what are available I think

yeah, they tend to be in my experience. but if eleven dollars doesn't mean that much to you go for it. its a gamble and it might just pay off, i know people that have had good experiences with forgotten books and others who have had terrible ones. i wish the german idealists got more love from the university presses. its especially depressing when there are a bunch of university published secondary works on a german idealist who has almost none of his works reputably translated and published
