Book Note: Fichte on free will

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews now includes a somewhat ambitious review of a very ambitious book about Johann Gottlieb Fichte, one of those Germanic figures between-Kant-and-Hegel thinkers I've spoken of, rather negatively, in this blog before. I don't repent of the negativity. It is not as a recommendation, then, but simply as a public service that I include this book note.   The book is FICHTE ON FREE WILL AND PREDESTINATION, the author is Kienhow Goh, and the reviewer at NDPR is   Steven Hoeltzel, James Madison University. Note that the title is not about "free will and determinism".  It is about free will and predestination -- a different thing, a different joust.
