At the beginning of these years, Jacobi completes his so-called "gypsy life" and settles in Eutin; here he writes - in the context of the ´controversy of atheism´ concerning the philosophy of J. G. Fichte - his partially apologetic, partially critical epistle ´Jacobi to Fichte´, and thereafter he prepares his most detailed critique of Kant (´Ueber das Unternehmen des Kritizismus ...´). His most important correspondents in those disputes are Karl Leonhard Reinhold and Jean Paul. Alongside, Jacobis correspondence reflects his deep disappointment caused by F. L. Graf zu Stolberg´s conversion (1800).
