11We are concerned in this essay with the experience of religion in the Phenomenology, or, more precisely, with the concept of religion which we (the philosophers) construct on the basis of that experience. Religion is the theme of Chapter VII, and there the transition is made to the concept of absolute knowledge which is the object of the concluding Chapter VIII. But the phenomenon of religion has in fact been present from the beginning, and we already witness it in full-blown form at the end of Chapter VI, in an experience which we might call 'thanksgiving', where 'confession'and 'forgiveness' play a central role.'Confession'and 'forgiveness' entail a special social compact.

5Freedom and Religion in Kant and his Immediate Successors: The Vocation of Humankind, 1774-1800Cambridge University Press. 2005.The theologians of the late German Enlightenment saw in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason a new rational defence of their Christian faith. In fact, Kant's critical theory of meaning and moral law totally subverted the spirit of that faith. This challenging new study examines the contribution made by the Critique of Pure Reason to this change of meaning. George di Giovanni stresses the revolutionary character of Kant's critical thought but also reveals how this thought was being held hostage to unwa…Read more

4“Wie die Triebe, so der Sinn; und wie der Sinn, so die Triebe”: Jacobi on Reason as a Form of LifeIn Manja Kisner & Jörg Noller (eds.), The Concept of Drive in Classical German Philosophy: Between Biology, Anthropology, and Metaphysics, Palgrave-macmillan. pp. 107-126. 2021.Up to 1800, before Jacobi was diverted into a simplistic distinction between understanding and reason, he had what amounted to the sketch of a potentially interesting theory of experience. The theory had its source in the Herzensmensch side of Jacobi’s persona. It was summed up in a formula “Wie die Triebe, so der Sinn; und wie der Sinn, so die Triebe,” which Jacobi used first to confront Lessing, and then Mendelssohn. In the Dialogue David Hume, he further argued that Kant’s categories can be d…Read more

1Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: The Science of Logic (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2010.This translation of The Science of Logic includes the revised Book I, Book II and Book III. Recent research has given us a detailed picture of the process that led Hegel to his final conception of the System and of the place of the Logic within it. We now understand how and why Hegel distanced himself from Schelling, how radical this break with his early mentor was, and to what extent it entailed a return to Fichte and Kant. In the introduction to the volume, George Di Giovanni presents in synop…Read more
