It was translated into English in 1846 by Jane Sinnett and then again in 1848 by William Smith. Fichte says his book is designed to 'raise [the reader] from the sensuous world, to that which is above sense.' Francis Bacon said, in The Advancement of Learning, 'the two ways of contemplation are not unlike the two ways of action commonly spoken of by the ancients; the one plain and smooth in the beginning, and in the end impassable; the other rough and troublesome in the entrance, but after a while fair and even. So it is in contemplation; if a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.' Rene Descartes said 'in order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life, to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.' Fichte moves from doubt to knowledge and finally to faith in his exploration of the self.
