By making available English translations of writings of major Jewish thinkers from the 18th through 20th centuries for the first time, Greenberg (philosophy and religion, American U., Washington, DC) may change English speakers' views of them. Following an introduction to the Jewish Emancipation and its effects on European Jewish thought concerning the relationship between Torah/faith and reason/philosophy, he groups thinkers by the categories of: dialectical truth (e.g., Mendelssohn, Reggio); intellection and developing consciousness (Maimon, Formstecher, Hirsch); revelation (Rosensweig); history (Ascher, Einhorn, Graetz); and universal morality (Salanter, Shadal, Buber). The author discusses how Maimonides is now used to defend conflicting positions. The volume includes a glossary of translated German terms and individual introductions to, and summaries of, translated passages. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Historical conditions at the end of the eighteenth century opened an arena between the formerly autonomous Jewish community and the Christian world, which yielded new departure points for philosophy, including revelation and philosophical reason, dialectically considered; rationalism as intellection and advancing consciousness; heteronomous revelation; historicity; and universal morality. In Modern Jewish Thinkers, Greenberg restructures the history of modern Jewish thought comprehensively, providing English translations of Reggio, Krokhmal, Maimon, Samuel Hirsch, Formstecher, Steinheim, Ascher, Einhorn, Samuel David Luzzatto, and Hermann Cohen, published here for the first time. The availability of these sources fills a gap in the field and stimulates new directions for teaching and scholarly research in modern Jewish thought, going beyond Spinoza and Mendelssohn at one end, and to popular twentieth-century figures on the other.
