German Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786) was one of
the most influential thinkers of the Enlightenment. Until now,
attention was focused on Mendelssohn's German works-such as his
groundbreaking Jerusalem-which have been duly translated into
English. Edward Breuer and David Sorkin assert that his Hebrew
works are essential for understanding both his biography and his
oeuvre. This volume offers expertly translated and generously
annotated selections from the entire corpus of Mendelssohn's
published Hebrew writings. Mendelssohn wrote in Hebrew throughout
his life, but these works-mainly grounded in biblical and other
Hebrew classical works-have been hitherto inaccessible to most
scholars. In this volume, Breuer and Sorkin make an important
contribution to modern Jewish and religious thought, refuting the
notion that Mendelssohn led a bifurcated intellectual and spiritual
existence and demonstrating Mendelssohn's ability to transform
traditional religious genres into vehicles for philosophical
argumentation.
