Description: Leibniz was interested in Jews and Judaism not only within the framework of his philosophy, but also within his studies as a lawyer, librarian, ecumenical theologian, and on a personal basis as resident of Hannover.
Review Quotes: "Leibniz und das Judentum contains a wealth of information on a topic which has been scarcely investigated up to now. The reviewer comes away feeling enriched and enlightened, and the editors are to be warmly congratulated on this achievement.""This volume can be highly recommended to any student of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century intellectual history. It provides interesting and unusual case-based studies of various ways in which philosophy, theology, and scriptural interpretation met religious politics, practice, and prejudices in the years of the early Enlightenment."
