F.W.J. Schelling’s Monument to Jacobi’s Work on the Divine Things (1812) (excerpts)

Abstract

The text offered here in translation is extracted from Schelling’s Monument to Jacobi’s Work on the Divine Things (1812), his last major work published during his lifetime. Written in under two months, the book is a response to Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi’s On the Divine Things and their Revelation (1811). Schelling’s cutting rejoinder appeared only a few weeks after Jacobi’s book, resulting in
what came to be known as the “controversy concerning the divine things".
