Abstract

This paper focuses on Jacobi’s role in the transformations of philosophy after Kant. (1) We start by evincing how Jacobi’s Letters to Moses Mendelssohn Concerning the Doctrine of Spinoza and the subsequent quarrel on pantheism contributed to bring the idea of a monistic philosophy to the center of the philosophical discussion at the end of the 18th century. (2) We show the importance of Jacobi’s criticism of Kant for the following developments, addressing (3) Jacobi’s impact on the evolution of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre and, finally, (4) we highlight how Jacobi’s claims about the role of mediation in knowledge conditioned Hegel.
