Summary
This chapter considers the place of Jacobi’s thought within the history of philosophy. Despite the prominent dismissal of his thought as unsystematic, misologist, and effectively incompatible with scientific philosophy, Jacobi’s critique of rationalist philosophy aptly situates him within the tradition of philosophical skepticism.
