Kroeger); the two _Introductions to the Science of Knowledge_, 1797 (trans. by Kroeger in _Journal of Speculative Philosophy_). The appearance of an article _Concerning the Ground of our Belief in a Divine World-Order_, 1798, in which Fichte seemed to identify God with the moral world-order, brought down upon him the charge of atheism, against which he vigorously defended himself in his _Appeal to the Public_ and a series of other writings. Full of indignation over the attitude which his government assumed in the matter, be offered his resignation (1799) and removed to Berlin, where he presented his philosophical notions in popular public lectures and in writings which were characterized by clearness, force, and moral earnestness rather than by their systematic form. There appeared: _The Vocation of Man_, 1800 (translated by Dr. Smith); _A Sun-Clear Statement concerning the Nature of the New Philosophy_, 1801 (trans. by Kroeger in _Journal of Speculative Philosophy_); _The Nature of the Scholar_, 1806 (trans. by Smith); _Characteristics of the Present Age_, 1806 (trans. by Smith); _The Way towards the Blessed Life_, 1806 (trans. by Smith). After the overthrow of Prussia by Napoleon, in 1806, Fichte fled from Berlin to Königsberg and Sweden, but returned when peace was declared in 1807, and delivered his celebrated _Addresses to the German Nation_, 1807-08, in which he sought to arouse the German people to a consciousness of their national mission and their duty even while the French army was still occupying the Prussian capital. Fichte was appointed professor of philosophy (1810) in the new University of Berlin, for which he had been invited to construct a plan and in the establishment of which he took a lively interest. During the last period of his life he devoted himself to the development of his thoughts in systematic form and wrote a number of books; most of these were published after his death, which occurred January 27, 1814. Among them we mention: _General Outline of the Science of Knowledge_, 1810 (trans. by Smith); _The Facts of Consciousness_, 1813; _Theory of the State_, published 1820. The Complete Works, edited by his son, J.H. Fichte, appeared 1843-46. New editions of particular works are now appearing.
