Gottlob Benjamin Jäsche: Liebe und Glaube
View through CrossRef
Ever since Kant's Dreams of a Spirit Seer, encounters with the deceased have been discredited by philosophy. It is not without irony that a follower and confidant of Kant, Gottlob Benjamin Jäsche, had such an experience with his deceased wife Sally. It made a deep and lasting impression on him. In the posthumous manuscript Liebe und Glaube (Love and Faith), begun in 1808 and edited here for the first time, Jäsche reflects on his experience and defends it against both Kant and post-Kantian idealism. The text is made accessible through an introduction and commentary. An essay places Jäsche's experience in the context of other after-death encounters and questions philosophy's treatment of this common, mostly beneficial form of experience.
