Having discussed current research on Lessing in the previous workshops, the upcoming session will focus on a project dedicated to an important contemporary: The Jacobi-Wörterbuch Online, which has been under construction since 2019, explores the thought of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819) by means of his use of terms in the context of the philosophical and political debates of his time and on the textual basis of his philosophical and literary writings, his correspondence and his “Denkbücher”. On the basis of approx. 400 lemmas, both the internal networking of Jacobi’s work and its connection with earlier, contemporary and later approaches in the context of classical German philosophy are presented. In preparation for the workshop, we recommend reading the following articles:

„Aufklärung“ by Stefan Schick

„Natur“ by Oliver Koch

„Salto mortale“ and „Sein in allem Dasein“ by Birgit Sandkaulen
