商品簡介
This is the first of five volumes that will constitute the English-language edition of a comprehensive masterwork by eminent scholar Eliezer Schweid (Jewish thought, Hebrew University, Israel). Translator Leonard Levin states in the preface: "...the outstanding feature of this work is its multi-dimensionality. The author provides a biographical narrative of each of the individual thinkers. He offers philosophical analysis of the issues raised. He develops the historical progression...delineating in the process the successive elaborations of major general thinkers...on their Jewish counterparts...". Volume one introduces the larger work and then treats Spinoza, Leibnitz and Mendelssohn, Hegel, Schelling, Maimon, Wessely, and R. Nachman Krochmal.
