The second of a threevolume series this book contains Eva Jospes Moses Mendelssohn Selections from His Writings together with an article dealing with Mendelssohns enduring significance. As Raphael Jospe observes in his introduction to the volume despite the welcome growth in recent years in the availability of English translations of Mendelssohns works Eva Jospes Selections including some of Mendelssohns private letters remain valuable for their clarity for the logic of their organization and for the important insight they provide into Mendelssohns personality and convictions. Volume One of this series contains Eva Jospes study of the ampampquotConcept of Encounter in the Philosophy of Martin Buberampampquot and Volume Three her Reason and Hope Selections from the Jewish Writings of Hermann Cohen.
