Description

Harvey Mitchell's scholarly examination reassesses Voltaire's complex relationship with traditional Judaism and its implications for understanding the Enlightenment movement. The study argues that Voltaire's antipathy towards Judaism stemmed from his commitment to rational, universal history that he believed Jewish tradition failed to meet through objective historical criteria. Mitchell draws on Jewish and non-Jewish historical figures to trace how modern interpretations have evolved from these foundational Enlightenment attitudes. This Routledge Jewish Studies Series volume provides essential context for scholars investigating the origins of contemporary Jewish identity, the philosophical underpinnings of the Enlightenment, and the intersection of religious tradition with secular rationalism during this transformative historical period.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Jewish Studies Series, offering peer-reviewed scholarship on Jewish history and culture within academic contexts.

Examines Voltaire's nearly total antipathy towards Judaism through the lens of his universal history project and enlightened rationalism.

Analyses how Voltaire's philosophical framework judged Jewish memory and tradition against criteria of objective historical documentation.

Draws on perspectives from both Jewish and non-Jewish historical figures to contextualise modern interpretations of Jewish identity.

Provides critical reassessment of Enlightenment thought and its lasting influence on contemporary discussions of religious identity and historical understanding.
