Moses Mendelssohn - Sage of Modernity
Feiner’s book is the first that offers a full, human portrait of this fascinating man—uncommonly modest, acutely aware of his task as an intellectual pioneer, shrewd, traditionally Jewish, yet thoroughly conversant with the world around him—providing a vivid sense of Mendelssohn’s daily life as well as of his philosophical endeavors. Feiner, a leading scholar of Jewish intellectual history, examines Mendelssohn as father and husband, as a friend (Mendelssohn’s long-standing friendship with the German dramatist Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was seen as a model for Jews and non-Jews worldwide), as a tireless advocate for his people, and as an equally indefatigable spokesman for the paramount importance of intellectual independence.
"A fascinating portrait of an important Enlightenment figure. . . . . Feiner`s biographical bildungsroman is a respectful and balanced treatment of the `Socrates of Germany` and the `Father of Reform Judaism`. . . . Expect more high-caliber titles from this new partnership between Yale University Press and the Leon D. Black Foundation." (Library Journal)
