Jacobi’s claims concerning the relationship between philosophy and religion are complex and often expressed in varied ways. This chapter sorts out the arguments Jacobi brings in support of his conception of epistemic realism, the opening of reason to suprasensible reality, as well as the relationship between Jacobi’s philosophy and Christianity.
