Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation

Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation

"An Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation" was a work of Johann Gottlieb Fichte which was briefly mistaken for a work of Kant, and which gained Fichte much philosophical fame. In it, he argued that any revelation in relation to God must be consistent with morality, which was against many aspects of orthodox Christian belief at the time.
