Abstract

The so-called hen kai pan philosophies had a vital role in German thought in 17thand 18thcentury, foremost due to how F. H. Jacobi interpreted them in Concerning the Doctrine of Spinoza in Letters to Herr Moses Mendelssohn (1785). Spinoza and Giordano Bruno are most representative of this way of thinking, and their philosophies lay the foundation of a new possible articulation between cause and reason, world and God. Jacobi identifies in both of them the model of the maximal intellectual coherence attainable by philosophy, an immanent monism of which logical consistency cannot be disputed inside its own system with the weapons of pure metaphysics. On the other hand, Jacobi distinguishes in the indeterminate principle, common to these doctrines, an endorsement of a harmful inclination in the history of philosophy that leads up to Fichte’s idealism and Schelling’s philosophy, that is, to the union between natura naturansand natura naturata in the I.
