Moses Mendelssohn came to be recognized as the inaugurator of a new phase in Jewish history. His life was a kaleidoscope of the European intellectual scene, Jewish and non-Jewish. As both a prominent philosopher and a believing Jew, Mendelssohn became a spokesman for the Jews and Judaism. What was Mendelssohn's Judaism like? To what extent did the disparate worlds of Judaism and modern Enlightenment jostle each other in his mind and to what degree could he harmonize them? These questions are not easily answered, and it is only in the aggregate of a multitude of accounts of experiences, reaction, and statements on his part that the answer is to be found. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aPhilosophers$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aJews$zGermany$vBiography 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y18th century 615 0$aPhilosophers 615 0$aJews 676 $a193 700 $aAltmann$b Alexander$f1906-1987,$0152553 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466417903321 996 $aMoses Mendelssohn$91197601 997 $aUNINA
