CHAPTER XI Notes
43 The greatest representatives of Gnosticism are Basilides,
Valentinus, and Marcion, all three living in the first half of the
second century B.C. At the beginning of that century all sorts of
Gnostic systems spring up, as did speculative ones at the beginning of
the nineteenth. The two great Christian teachers of Alexandria,
Flavius Clemens at the end of the second century A.D., and Origen at
the beginning of the third, try to bring the Gnostic speculations into
harmony with the doctrine of the Church.

_The System of Moral Teaching According to the Principles of Science_
(1798); _The Destiny of Man_ (1800); _How to Attain to the Happy Life_
(1806); _Addresses to the German Nation_ (1808).
A complete edition of J. G. Fichte’s works was edited by his son, J.
H. Fichte, in 1845 and the following years. A good selection has been
published by F. Medicus (1908 to 1912).
45 This and the following quotations are from _The Destiny of Man_.

CHAPTER XIV Notes
50 F. E. Beneke: _Prolegomena to a Physiology of Morals_ (1822); _The
Natural System of Practical Philosophy_ (3 vols., 1837-40). By his
appearance as a champion of utilitarianism and his consequent attitude
of hostility to Kant, Beneke drew upon himself the enmity of Hegel,
and was compelled in 1822 to stop the course of lectures which he was
giving as a _Privat-dozent_ at Berlin University. After Hegel’s death
he filled a professorship at Berlin.
51 L. A. Feuerbach: _What is Christianity?_ (1841); _Divinity,
Freedom, and Immortality from the Standpoint of Anthropology_ (1866).
