Abstract
The Vocation of Man is Fichte’s response to Jacobi. Fichte follows a double strategy : he provides us with his system of defense against the accusations made to the Doctrine of Science in the Letter to Fichte (subjectivism, solipsism, nihilism), on the other part, he tries to build a link to the non-knowledge of Jacobi. With the ternary structure of the work, Fichte shows its commitment to the position that was already his at the time of the Quarrel of pantheism : he still holds necessary a mediation of Knowledge between Doubt and Faith and doesn’t agree the Jacobian salto mortale. But the Knowledge and the Faith staged in the last two books of the work are precisely calibrated to demonstrate to Jacobi their agreement in these two areas. The reaction of Jacobi shows the discrepancy between the expectations of Fichte and the result.
