This book places Mendelssohn's thought within the context of the Leibnizian-Wolffian school, the writings of Kant and Lessing and other major figures of the Enlightenment, and within the age-old tradition of Jewish rationalism. More than any previous treatment of this subject, it questions the extent to which Mendelssohn truly succeeded in reconciling his allegiance to the philosophy of the Enlightenment with his adherence to Judaism. 410 0$aSUNY series in Judaica. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aEnlightenment 606 $aJewish philosophy 606 $aHaskalah 615 0$aEnlightenment. 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 615 0$aHaskalah. 676 $a193 700 $aArkush$b Allan$f1949-$01204666 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971820203321 996 $aMoses Mendelssohn and the Enlightenment$92780271 997 $aUNINA
