Main Philosophical Writings and the Novel Allwill (Mcgill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas)

In a comprehensive introductory essay di Giovanni situates Jacobi in the historical and philosophical context of his time, and shows how Jacobi's life and work reflect the tensions inherent in the late Enlightenment.George Di Giovanni is the author of 'Main Philosophical Writings and the Novel Allwill (Mcgill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas)' with ISBN 9780773510180 and ISBN 0773510184.
