耶可比论绝对者的两种本性

Jacobi's Theory on Two Nature of the Absolute

谢林曾在写给黑格尔的信中明确地否定了绝对者的人格性,在他看来如果神有了人格性,神就是受限制的,而不是一个绝对的存在者。谢林的结论引起了浪漫主义哲学家耶可比的愤怒,一方面耶可比指出神是活生生的、具有人格性的存在者,否则必然导致对神性的误解,甚至无神论;在此基础上他进一步深入地指出谢林哲学的最大问题在于没能将原因与根据这两个概念区分开,从而产生了对绝对者的错误理解。

In his letter to Hegel, Schelling had explicitly denied the personality of the absolute. In his view, God with personality would be something restricted rather than an absolute being. Schelling＇s conclusion infuriated Jacobi, a romantic philosopher. On the one hand, Jacobi pointed out that God is a living being with personality; otherwise it would inevitably lead to the misunderstanding of the divine or even atheism. On the other hand, he further stated the biggest problem of Shelling＇s philosophy is that it fails to distinguish between the reason and the basis, which results in the wrong understanding of the absolute.
