Friedrich Jacobi

Friedrich Jacobi was a German philosopher and mathematician in the 18th century who contributed to ideas about reason, faith, and individual perception. He believed that human understanding has limits and that some truths, especially spiritual ones, are known through personal insight rather than through reason alone. Jacobi emphasized the importance of inner experience and intuition, contrasting with purely rational approaches. His ideas influenced later philosophical debates about the nature of knowledge, faith, and the relationship between reason and belief.
