To mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Moses Mendelssohn in
1986, the Lessing Academy in WolfenbA1/4ttel organized a symposium
for scholars from Germany and abroad. The results of this gathering
are presented here. The broad range of topics - theological,
philosophical, historical, literary - reflects the multiplicity of
contexts in which the most important Jewish thinker of the German
Enlightenment demands to be regarded. The twenty contributions
comprise both studies of Mendelssohn's approach to specific
problems in comparison with his contemporaries and discussion of
the ways in which his life and writings are reflected in the
history of his reception and readership and the influence he
exerted. This extends to a critical appreciation of Mendelssohn's
significance as a leading figure in Jewish emancipation in Germany.
