A debate in the 1780s over whether Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was a follower of this thinker led to the publication of the book Morning Hours: Lectures on God’s Existence. For 10 points each:
[10e] That so-called “pantheism controversy” led to renewed interest in what 17th-century Dutch author of Ethics?
ANSWER: Baruch Spinoza [or Benedict Spinoza; or Benedictus de Spinoza; or Benedito de Espinosa]
[10h] Two answers required. The “pantheism controversy” was a print debate between these two thinkers. One of them used the controversy to promote his concept of Glaube (“GLAO-buh”) and the other inspired Lessing’s most famous literary character.
ANSWER: F. H. Jacobi (“YAH-koh-bee”) AND Moses Mendelssohn [accept Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi in place of “F. H. Jacobi”; accept Moses Ben Mendel in place of “Moses Mendelssohn”]
[10m] Jacobi coined the term “nihilism” during a separate controversy about this philosopher, who had just been dismissed from the University of Jena (“YAY-nuh”) on charges of atheism. He referred to his philosophical system as Wissen·schafts·lehre (“VISS-en-shafts-LAIR-uh”).
ANSWER: Johann Gottlieb Fichte (“FICK-tuh”)
