The theory of belief first proposed by Jacobi in On the Doctrine of Spinoza was criticized for irrational fanaticism and superstition.In response to this,his David Hume über den Glauben oder Idealismus und Realismus gives a defense.The book criticizes representative realism and idealism,and puts forward"firm realism"tit for tat.This kind of realism regards the rela-tionship between the subject and the object of knowing as a dialogical relationship between"I"and"you",and emphasizes the practical basis of knowing,thereby breaking the tradition of the previous epistemology that only explored belief and knowledge from the personal and inner consciousness.With the aid of this new theory of perception,Jacobi examined the possibilities and principles of perceptual experience and belief in general,as well as the experience of and belief in a transcendent existence.Belief is not a kind of personal and inner subjective believing,but the certainty of the existence of self,the world and a tran-scendent existence that is generated and cultivated in the social practical activities of dealing with the world.It is based on the self-revelation and self-presentation of reality itself in the activities of perception,and thus not irrational or blind.
