Titolo / Title: Spinoza sive anti-Spinoza. Jacobi e la scientia intuitiva

Abstract: This article argues that the form of immediate knowledge that Jacobi opposes to Spinozism is structurally connected to Spinoza’s third kind of knowledge and his conception of the adequate idea. Jacobi thus appears to locate a model for a form of knowledge that goes beyond the intellectualist limits of deduction in Spinozism itself. This form of knowledge involves an idea that cannot be reduced to deductive reasoning, providing an immediate certainty that is grounded solely in itself. Jacobi therefore appears to be using Spinozism against itself.

Keywords: Spinozism; Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi; Spinoza; third kind of knowledge; adequate idea; faith; reason; immediate knowledge.
