The essay analyses several ways and forms of ‘writing philosophy’ in the view of a history of practices which seems still to be a derivate in the emerging fields of writing and science studies. Jean Paul, the writer, and his philosophical mentor Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi discuss contemporary philosophy, namely the works of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, a philosophical writer who refused first to publish his ideas, in a specific way of exchange of marginalia, notes, papers and writing tools. It is so to be shown how such aspects are at work in the kind of a ‘philosophy as writing’
