Bøger af Moses Mendelssohn

Moses Mendelssohn (1729-86) is considered the father of the Jewish Enlightenment and the last great Leibnizian in the German philosophical tradition. One of his most successful works was this dialogue on the immortality of the soul, modelled on Plato's "Phaedo".

The last work published by Moses Mendelssohn during his lifetime, Morning Hours is also the most sustained presentation of his mature epistemological and metaphysical views, all elaborated in the service of presenting proofs for the existence of God.

Mendelssohn's Philosophical Writings, published in 1761, brings the metaphysical tradition to bear on the topic of 'sentiments' (defined as knowledge or awareness by way of the senses), and helped propel its author to the forefront of the Berlin Enlightenment.
