Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new. xi/332 pages. "Moses Mendelssohn (17251786) is considered the foremost representative of Jewish Enlightenment. In "No Religion without Idolatry," Gideon Freudenthal offers a novel interpretation of Mendelssohn's general philosophy and discusses for the first time Mendelssohn's semiotic interpretation of idolatry in his Jerusalem and in his Hebrew biblical commentary. Mendelssohn emerges from this study as an original philosopher, not a shallow popularizer of rationalist metaphysics, as he is sometimes portrayed. Of special and lasting value is his semiotic theory of idolatry. From a semiotic perspective, both idolatry and enlightenment are necessary constituents of religion. Idolatry ascribes to religious symbols an intrinsic value: enlightenment maintains that symbols are conventional and merely signify religious content but do not share its properties and value. Without enlightenment, religion degenerates to fetishism; without idolatry it turns into philosophy and frustrates religious experience. Freudenthal demonstrates that in Mendelssohn's view, Judaism is the optimal religious synthesis. It consists of transient ceremonies of a "living script." Its ceremonies are symbols, but they are not permanent objects that could be venerated. Jewish ceremonies thus provide a religious experience but frustrate fetishism. Throughout the book, Freudenthal fruitfully contrasts Mendelssohn's views on religion and philosophy with those of his contemporary critic and opponent, Salomon Maimon. "No Religion without Idolatry" breaks new ground in Mendelssohn studies. It will interest students and scholars in philosophy of religion, Judaism, and semiotics.".

Series: Boston studies in the philosophy of science, v. 88. 8vo. xv, 276 pp. Index. Cloth, dust-jacket; jacket cover a bit torn. Ink ownership signature of David C. Lindberg. Very good. FIRST EDITION in English, previously issued in German, 1982 as Atom und Individuum im Zeitalter Newtons. "This study of Newtonian natural philosophy is such an exceptionally important contribution to the literature of the history and philosophy of science. . . [This] is a work of fundamental importance, for it deftly reframes two of the longest-running and most critical debates in the literature: the first, whether and how the rise of science in the seventeenth century was related to the raging social, religious, political, and economic battles with which it occupied the stage in early modern Europe; the second, whether a socially defined science becomes relativistic, its substance determined merely by convention. . . . " David Kubrin, the reviewer, points out there were problems with the translation and a lot of typos in the text, but still confirms the importance of the work. ISBN: 9027719055.
