LA PHILOSOPHIE DES LUMIERES DANS L'EXÉGÈSE DE MOSES MENDELSSOHN
LEDERMAN JEAN
This study shows how Moses Mendelssohn, through his exegesis of the Pentateuch, sheds light on the Ghetto’s Jewish denizen as man (Mensch) and prepares his emancipation as citizen (Bürger). Included is a full translation of excerpts from the exegesis and of Mendelssohn’s Séfer ha-Néfesh (Book of the Soul).
