Excerpt from Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi, Vol. 1 For the general history of culture, the appearance of a realistic philosophy in Germany during the last quarter of the 18th century is a fact hardly less significant than the contemporaneous rise of the critical spirit. For the general history of culture, not for the history of the pure speculative development. In intellectual power, Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi can bear no comparison with Immanuel Kant. The genius of the two men was of an essentially different type. To one fresh from the study of the weighty sentences of the Kritik der reinen Vernunft, the luxuriant rhetoric and tiresome repetitions of Allwill's Briefsammlung will appear mere substitutes for lack of real content. Precision, system, is not to be sought in Jacobi's writings. He seizes his point with an intuition almost feminine, and enforces it with the enthusiasm of a preacher nature. Philosophy aus einem Stuck is not his ideal. His only method is to present a series of unconnected ideas in the form most favorable for their reception. In his earliest work, Allwill, we have the idea of the individual as his own ethical law. Yet it is not a treatise on morals, but a romance which leaves us with a problem rather than a solution.
