Description

Explore a deep reassessment of Enlightenment history with Voltaire's Jews and Modern Jewish Identity. This scholarly work by Harvey Mitchell examines how Voltaire's views on traditional Judaism shaped the early discussions of the Enlightenment. By looking at his nearly total antipathy toward Judaism, the book explains how his desire to write a rational and universal history influenced his perception of Jewish history. Mitchell shows how Voltaire viewed the memory of Judaism as incoherent and failing to meet his specific criteria for objective history. This study provides a new way to understand the origins of Enlightenment thought and the responses that followed. Through an array of Jewish and non-Jewish figures, the text helps clarify the complex relationship between Enlightenment values and Jewish identity. This book is an essential resource for students and historians interested in European history and the development of modern thought.
