H. JACOBI - On Divine Things and their Revelation 142 (the translation follows its own pagination) - 2 - Abstract English Version This dissertation presents the first English translation, together with commentary, of F.H. Jacobi´s On Divine Things and their Revelation (1811; henceforth, Divine Things). This work marked for Jacobi the emancipation of rational thinking from the bounds set to it by the Enlightenment in matters of religion. Jacobi’s goal was to develop a new definition of rationality. And this is a goal that he sought to achieve indirectly by drawing from different but consonant sources. The intention of this dissertation is twofold: to examine Jacobi’s efforts at introducing a new form of rationality; to make explicit the limits of this rationality inasmuch as Jacobi succeeded in defining it. In general, my analysis shows that, while Jacobi relies heavily on Kant’s doctrine of postulates to lay out his position, his considered concept of rationality seeks to distance itself from the Kantian transcendental mode of thinking – indeed, to distance itself from the entire tradition of modern philosophy. Nevertheless, since Jacobi still operates within the frameworks of thought typical of the Enlightenment, despite his opposition to it, his thought is ultimately continuous with it. More specifically, I demonstrate that reason for Jacobi is properly defined, not by the act of postulating, but the act of perceiving things which are truly external to the perceiving of them. This perceiving, whether reason- or sense-based, is intuitive. Jacobi recognizes, of course, that the perceiving itself, and even more so the system of conceptual representations based on it, is a subjective product. It is the undue interest in this subjective aspect of cognition that obscures the objective apprehension of reality that reason (as redefined by Jacobi) otherwise houses, and thus gives rise to at times useful, but always illusory, representations of reality. Jacobi’s Divine Things is the manifesto of a new realism. This is a realism, however, that in order to be true to itself requires according to Jacobi the assent to divine things. Where for Kant rational theology can be only the - 3 - product of subjective postulation, for Jacobi it is rather where realism is rather achieved. In this, while countering Kant, Jacobi still operates within the terms of a problematic as set by him. French Version Cette thèse présente la première traduction anglaise de F.H. Jacobi's On Divine Things and their Revelation (1811 ; dorénavant, Divine Things) avec commentaire. Cet ouvrage marque pour Jacobi l’émancipation de la pensée rationnelle à partir des limites fixées par les Lumières en matière de religion. L’objectif de Jacobi était de développer une nouvelle définition de la rationalité. Et c’est un objectif qu’il a cherché à atteindre indirectement en puisant dans des sources différentes mais en accord. L’intention de cette thèse est double : examiner les efforts de Jacobi pour introduire une nouvelle forme de rationalité ; expliciter les limites de cette rationalité dans la mesure où Jacobi a réussi à la définir. En général, mon analyse montre que, même si Jacobi s’appuie beaucoup sur la doctrine des postulats de Kant pour exposer sa position, son concept de rationalité cherche à s’éloigner du mode de pensée transcendantal Kantien - en effet, à s’éloigner de toute la tradition de philosophie moderne. Néanmoins, étant donné que Jacobi opère toujours dans les cadres de pensée typiques des Lumières ; malgré son opposition, sa pensée est finalement cohérente avec lui. Plus précisément, je démontre que la raison de Jacobi est correctement définie, non pas par l'acte de postuler, mais par l'acte de percevoir des choses qui sont réellement extérieures à leur perception. Cette perception, qu'elle soit fondée sur la raison ou sur le sens, est intuitive. Jacobi reconnaît, bien sûr, que la perception elle-même, et plus encore le système de représentations conceptuelles qui en découle, est un produit subjectif. C'est l'intérêt indu de cet aspect subjectif de la connaissance qui masque l'appréhension objective de la réalité que la raison (redéfinie par Jacobi) accueille par - 4 - ailleurs et donne ainsi lieu à des représentations de la réalité parfois utiles, mais toujours illusoires. Les choses divines de Jacobi est le manifeste d’un nouveau réalisme. C’est un réalisme, cependant, que pour être fidèle à lui-même nécessite, selon Jacobi, l’assentiment aux choses divines. Là où, pour Kant, la théologie rationnelle ne peut être que le produit d’une postulation subjective, pour Jacobi, c’est là que le réalisme est plutôt atteint. En cela, tout en combattant Kant, Jacobi fonctionne toujours selon les termes de la problématique qu'il a définie. - 5 - Acknowledgments This dissertation has been a challenge in many respects: it includes a translation from a language that is not my own into a language that I did not master as I arrived in Montreal 5 years ago; it is about concepts such as faith, immediacy and feeling that are in many ways foreign to the theoretical precision that I have always attributed to philosophy; it has been chosen as a project about an author and a text that are somehow at odds with what I believed pure rational thinking meant. I want to thank Prof. George di Giovanni. He believed that there was some good in doing research on Jacobi´s On Divine Things and their Revelation. Thanks to him, I have been introduced to Jacobi's philosophy; I discovered the intrinsic potential of the analysis of the notion of immediacy which appears to have no citizenship in the land of speculation that philosophy occupies. Moreover, my intellectual background may be deemed a purely theoretical approach to the problems of philosophy, and thanks to Prof. di Giovanni's writing and teaching I slowly discovered that within the confrontation immediacy-VS-mediation lies the ultimate horizon of philosophy of religion, where both ethical and theoretical inquiries gather around shared notions such as: truth, ultimate reality, Being, existence, and subject. I want to thank Prof. Garth W. Green. His teaching is the reason why I will continue to walk the thin line that philosophy of religion constitutes. As Jacobi would state, philosophy of religion has to do with the limits of rational explanations; it deals with the limits of our language. Garth Green made me realize how the field of philosophy of religion is quintessentially rational for it constitutes the analysis of the confrontation between what is conceptually assumed but, at the same time, cannot be known. In the end, philosophy of religion appears as the logos about how we relate to a principle. I am also grateful to the PRIS (Philosophy of Religious Informal Seminar) colleagues: Hadi Fakhoury, Matthew Nini, Jason Blakeburn, Jingjing Li, Naznin Patel, and Marco Dozzi. The - 6 - community we created was established to contextualize, discuss, and communicate our research in a shared field. Thanks to this, I was able to appreciate the limits of this present research. Contribution to knowledge The author of this dissertation is the first to have translated Jacobi's On Divine Things and their Revelation into English, and the first in the English-speaking world to have dedicated a book- length study to it. He will defend a thesis that, though foreshadowed by some scholars (namely: George di Giovanni, Birgit Sandkaulen and Marco Ivaldo) is the result of a new understanding of what finitude means in the context of Jacobi's philosophy of religion. The equation of reason and virtue (Marco Ivaldo) and the conception of existence according to the blueprint provided by the notion of cause (Birgit Sandkaulen), have contributed to the theoretical background of the author's investigations about potential and limits of Jacobi's understanding of rational thinking in the context of German Idealism. As they have been presented by George di Giovanni since 1994, the potential and limits of Jacobi's understanding of rational thinking can be appreciated only when confronted with the limits that Jacobi's polemical target (systematic thinking) shows. Otherwise, Jacobi's works would look like unsound ideology written in the most baroque manner. Instead, Jacobi's efforts shed light on internal frictions and flaws of systematic thinking while highlighting the whole panorama of rational issues that falls outside that systematic approach. First among these issues is the question about finite existence. On the basis of a critical analysis of the methodological weaknesses of Jacobi's philosophy (as highlighted by George di Giovanni), we may appreciate the intentions and the general project that moved Jacobi's ungifted pen.

  • JACOBI and FICHTE on PHILOSOPHY and LIFE Rolf Ahlers
    VITALISM AND SYSTEM: JACOBI AND FICHTE ON PHILOSOPHY AND LIFE Rolf Ahlers Abstract: This paper thematizes the crucial agreement and point of depar- ture between Jacobi and Fichte at the height of the “atheism controversy.” The argument on the proper relationship between philosophy and existence or speculation and life had far-reaching consequences in the history of thought after Jacobi and Fichte in German Idealism on the one hand, primarly advo- cated by Schelling and Hegel, and on the other hand by existentialism and vitalism. The essay focuses first on Jacobi’s philosophy of life, which cen- trally influenced and attracted Fichte to Jacobi. Jacobi’s dualism between speculation, of which he was skeptical, and life, became Fichte’s dualism. Fichte’s transcendentalism, however, prioritized, contrary to Jacobi, both speculation and systematicity. Both of these elements became central for later forms of German Idealism. In the last part of the essay Hegel’s absolute idealism becomes the platform affording a critical perspective on Fichte’s transcendental philosophy. The immediacy of life could for Fichte in 1799 not have any reality without the abstraction from life accomplished by speculative philosophy. Both “speculation” and “life” do not really have any common ground between them—a position which Reinhold attempted to find—because both oppose each other but are also dependent upon another. As “life” could not be had without speculation, so “speculation” is impossible without life, for it needs life to be able to abstract from it. Fichte made this very clear at the height of the “atheism-controversy,” in a letter to Jacobi of April 22, 1799,1 in which he says this (1799:61):2 The original duality, which traverses through the whole system of reason, and which is grounded in the duality of the subject-object is here on its highest plateau.

  • 190 Dale M. Schlitt Two Centuries Ago in Berlin Classrooms, Some
    190 Book Reviews Dale M. Schlitt German Idealism’s Trinitarian Legacy. Albany, ny: State University of New York Press, 2016. Pp. x + 445. Hb, $95. Two centuries ago in Berlin classrooms, some now famous philosophers of re- ligion prosecuted contending systematic treatments of the Trinity that, for cer- tain, challenged their students. Today these philosophies are still taught and prove as daunting as ever for students and teachers alike. With Dale Schlitt’s new book on German Idealism’s Trinitarian legacy, we have an expert teacher to guide us all. This multifariously praiseworthy text’s chief merit lies in its pedagogical sensibility. Schlitt’s introduction concisely lays out how the book resulted from decades of teaching at St. Paul University in Ottawa and Oblate School of The- ology in San Antonio. Even better, the introduction presents a lucid, welcom- ing justification for the reader for the slate of ten thinkers to be treated later, and an equally clear statement on method. Then with an eye to future scholars’ potential contributions, Schlitt states that he offers this text as a celebration of the Idealist legacy, which should impel continuation of the Idealist Trinitarian adventure (see the detailed suggestions for further study in the book’s conclu- sion). Schlitt’s pedagogical sensibility manifests itself in each chapter with his judicious selection of examples and representative texts. Given the subject’s difficulty, this is absolutely worth lauding. The book has four parts. The first recounts the beginning of the Trinitarian adventure with Johann G. Fichte, Georg W.F. Hegel, and Friedrich W.J.

  • Schelling's Narrative Philosophy and Ankersmit's Narrative Logic
    Journal of Transcendental Philosophy 2021; 2(2): 237–257 Katarzyna Filutowska* Schelling’s Narrative Philosophy and Ankersmit’s Narrative Logic – Is There Any Philosophy to Narrative? https://doi.org/10.1515/jtph-2021-0013 Published online June 4, 2021 Abstract: This paper considers the problem of a narrative philosophy according to F. W. J. Schelling and narrative logic according to Franklin Ankersmit. Referring to these examples, I ask whether there is any philosophy to narrative at all. First, I discuss Schelling’s views from his unfinished work “The Ages of the World,” as well as his later dialectics of mythology of revelation from the system of the ages of the world. I focus on a dialectics of figurative and speculative order, which is at the core of Schelling’s project to tell philosophy in the form of poetry and demonstrate the origins of Schelling’s narrative philosophy in his early, transcendental thought. Next, I juxtapose my findings with Ankersmit’s analysis of historians’ language. I also consider whether, and how, some of these ideas can be applied in contemporary narrative research. Keywords: narrative philosophy, F.W.J. Schelling, German idealism, Franklin Ankersmit, narrative logic 1 Introduction Although Schelling, along with Kant and Fichte, is considered one of the most prominent representatives of transcendentalism, his philosophy is in fact irre- ducible to the typically systematic, negative thought that is characteristic of thinkers in this school. In his second, positive period, which began in 1809 with the famous treatise devoted to human freedom, he passed into the position of a so- called living system.

Not onlymustwe clarify what his commitments are as amember of the so-called MarburgSchool of Neo-Kantianism, but also giventhe shift between his earlyphilosophyof mathematics and naturalscience to his later philosophyofculture, we must con- sider to what extent he remained aMarburgNeo-Kantian throughout his career. With regard to the first task, it is typical to approach the MarburgSchool, which was foundedbyHermann Cohen and Paul Natorp, by wayofacontrast with the otherdominant school of Neo-Kantianism, the Southwest or Baden School, founded by Wilhelm Windelband and carried forward by Heinrich Rick- ert and Emil Lask. The going assumption is that these two schools were ‘rivals’ in the sense that the MarburgSchool focused exclusively on developing aKantian approach to mathematical natural sciences(Naturwissenschaften), while the Southwest School privileged issues relatingtonormativity and value, hence their primary focus on the humanities (Geisteswissenschaften).

  • Thought and the Eucharist Philosophical Models and Their Theological Appropriation
    Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses 86/1 (2010) 83-106. doi: 10.2143/ETL.86.1.2051611 © 2010 by Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses. All rights reserved. Thought and the Eucharist Philosophical Models and Their Theological Appropriation Joris GELDHOF K.U.Leuven The history of the relationship between Thought and the Eucharist is long and complex. Theology, resorting to concepts and the formation of philosophical thought, has never ceased to attempt an understanding of the mystery of the Eucharist. Theologians have certainly reflected on “the sacrament of sacraments”, lyrically described by Vatican II as “a sacra- ment of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Pascal banquet”1 inas- much as it is “the fount and apex of the whole Christian life”2. But philosophers themselves have thematized and examined the Eucharist, too, not only as a social ritual or a religious practice but also as a constitu- tive element of Christian faith. Xavier Tilliette demonstrates this in his recent volume on “Eucharistic philosophies”3. This fundamental observa- tion invites theologians to meticulously study what the philosophers have written, and then to make a critical and constructive assessment. In the current context, the task of dedicating the necessary energy to the deepen- ing of relationships between thought and the Eucharist has become of utmost importance. How is it possible to contemplate the Eucharist with- out being absorbed in a strictly scientific and rationalistic discourse on the one hand, or on the other hand, without spiritualizing it – which would finally and inevitably end up in a refutation of theology itself? This article presents an authentic exercise of theological thought which confronts each of these two positions.
