{"product_id":"9781905559510","title":"Moses Mendelssohn and the Religious Enlightenment","description":"Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786) was the premier Jewish thinker of his day and one of the best-known figures of the German Enlightenment, earning the sobriquet 'the Socrates of Berlin'. He was thoroughly involved in the central issue of Enlightenment religious thinking: the inevitable conflict between reason and revelation in an age contending with individual rights and religious toleration. He did not aspire to a comprehensive philosophy of Judaism, since he thought human reason was limited, but he did see Judaism as compatible with toleration and rights. David Sorkin offers a close study of Mendelssohn's complete writings, treating the German, and the often-neglected Hebrew writings, as a single corpus and arguing that Mendelssohn's two spheres of endeavour were entirely consistent.","brand":"Halban","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151453733104,"sku":"9781905559510","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905559510_p0.jpg?v=1763615870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905559510","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
