He was also the major author who rebutted Benedict Spinoza's Freethought from inside his own Sephardic community. Reflecting on the developments in early modern studies that have appeared since the publication of Yosef Kaplan's seminal monograph in 1982, the authors revisit Orobio's intellectual personality with a focus on transcultural processes, clandestine book culture, philosophical rhetoric, and literary reception. Born in Portugal to Christian parents of Jewish ancestry, Orobio left behind a brilliant career as a court physician in Spain and France when he publicly embraced Judaism. With academic erudition, he translated Jewish religious positions into the eclectic philosophy of the day, using both rationalist and sceptic arguments. His work leaked out into the non-Jewish world and armed Enlightenment philosophers for their attacks on Christianity, showing the impact of Jewish criticism on the early modern quest for philosophical certainty and religious pluralism. 410 0$aStudies and texts in scepticism ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aJews$zNetherlands$xHistory 610 $aIsaac Orobio. 610 $aJewish-Christian controversy. 610 $aSephardic Jewry. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 676 $a949.23 700 $aWilke$b Carsten$4auth$0978192 702 $aWilke$b Carsten 712 02$aDeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309078603316 996 $aIsaac Orobio$93647548 997 $aUNISA
