The contemporaries of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819) openly
acknowledged his towering importance. Both Fichte and Hegel praised
him in the same breath with Kant as having launched the
philosophical revolution they sought to complete. Yet for more than
a century, misrepresentations of Jacobi's thought have stood in the
way of a proper appreciation of his insights. In her study of this
long-neglected German philosopher, Birgit Sandkaulen interprets his
philosophical writings in their intellectual context. Originally
published in German and translated into English for the first time,
this is a major contribution to reading the life, work, and legacy
of Jacobi. Offering new perspectives on Fichte, Schelling, and
Hegel, Sandkaulen focuses on Jacobi's specific conception of
practical realism. This conception, the source of Jacobi's famous
defense of faith and human freedom, matches his critique of the
German Idealists: the post -Kantian systems of German Idealism were
bound to fail. Sandkaulen shows us that long before 20th-century
philosophers took up this line of thought, indeed at the very
origin of the epoch-making developments of classical German
philosophy, Jacobi articulated a practical, ethical, personal
realism that is as philosophically appealing and relevant today as
it was in its time.
