Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (25 January, 1743 - 10 March, 1819), was a German philosopher notable for coining the term nihilism and promoting it as the prime fault of Enlightenment thought and Kantianism. Instead of speculative reason, he advocated Glaube and revelation. In this sense, Jacobi anticipated present-day writers who criticize secular philosophy as relativistic and dangerous for religious faith. He was the younger brother of poet Johann Georg Jacobi.
