	Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (January 25, 1743 - March 10, 1819), was a German philosopher who made his mark on philosophy by coining the term nihilism and promoting it as the prime fault of Enlightenment thought and Kantianism.
		Jacobi was ridiculed for trying to reintroduce into philosophy the antiquated notion of unreasoning belief, was denounced as an enemy of reason, as a pietist, and as a Jesuit in disguise, and was especially attacked for his use of the ambiguous term "belief".
		As Jacobi starts with the doctrine that thought is partial and limited, applicable only to connect facts, but incapable of explaining their existence, it is evident that for him any demonstrative system of metaphysic which should attempt to subject all existence to the principle of logical ground must be repulsive.

	Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi
		Jacobi's veiled message was that the adepts of this new cultural phenomenon had failed to escape the rationalism of the philosophers, since the rebellious new humanism they advocated made sense only on the presupposition that the philosophers's conception of reality was the right one.
		Jacobi rejects it off-hand on the ground that, as a matter of fact, a subject could not be aware of himself — aware also, therefore, of the alleged subjectivity of some of his representations — without defining his ‘self’ in opposition to some admittedly external object, i.e.
		Jacobi responded with a pamphlet of his own (Jacobi, 1782) in which he defended Müller's position — not because he had any sympathy for Catholicism, or because he was opposed to secularism, but because he thought that the Popes's spiritual despotism was much to be preferred to the secular, allegedly enlightened, despotism of the princes.

		Jacobi had however made his philosophical debut precisely by combating the assumption that everything can be explained by reference to everything else -- a position that he thought reflected the philosophers's logical enthusiasm for explanation and which he opposed because it ended up undermining human subjectivity.

		(1740-1814), German poet, elder brother of the philosopher, F. Jacobi (I743I819), was born at Dsseldorf on the 2nd of September 1740.
		In this year he made the acquaintance of J. (Vater) Gleim, who, attracted by the young poets Foeiische Versuche (1764), became his warm friend, and a lively literary correspondence ensued between Gleim in Halberstadt and Jacobi in Halle.
