Anthony La Vopa's Fichte: The Self and the Calling of Philosophy, 1762-1799, published by Cambridge University Press in 2001, is a scholarly intellectual biography. Its strength is that it is a detailed academic study of Fichte's early life and the Jena period, including the 1798-99 Atheismusstreit that cost Fichte his university chair. Its limit is the ordinary one for a biography covering a defined period: it focuses on Fichte's early life and career, up to 1799, not his later philosophical development.
