***
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi’s death (Munich, 10th of March 1819), the Philosophy Departments of La Sapienza University of Rome and of the University of Florence are promoting an international research conference on a key figure of classical German philosophy. Recent scholarly literature on Jacobi, supported by the new critical edition of his works and letters, has finally dismantled the old prejudicial image of a mystical thinker; his philosophy of faith has been convincingly revaluated as an original and insightful contribution to post-Kantian critical rationalism; and Jacobi’s influence over his own age has been shown to have largely surpassed that of an unwitting populariser of Spinozism. The conference aims at furnishing fresh tools to consolidate this reappraisal, by exploring the historical impact of Jacobi’s ideas and their theoretical richness. It will be articulated into two distinct sections; in both occasions, younger researchers will expose their papers alongside important Italian and foreign Jacobian scholars.
