Reviews

"Lucidly composed and eminently accessible, this new book brilliantly illuminates the history of Jewish and general European thought and the relationship between them. Even in the case of thinkers whose work I thought I knew well, I often found myself stopping to ponder the remarkable insights it offers and connections it suggests. Strongly recommended." - Jon D. Levenson, Albert A. List Professor of Jewish Studies, Harvard Divinity School, USA
