Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786) was the central figure in the emancipation of European Jewry. His intellect, judgment, and tact won the admiration and friendship of illustrious contemporaries. Last Works includes, for the first time complete in and in a single volume, the English translation of Morning Hours: Lectures on the Existence of God (1785) and To the Friends of Lessing (1786). _x000B_Mendelssohn wrote these last two works to commemorate the death of his friend the dramatist Johann Gottfried Lessing and to carry on the work to which they had dedicated much of their lives. Morning Hours treats a range of major philosophical topics, including the foundations of human knowledge, the basis of our moral and aesthetic powers of judgment, and the grounds for a rational faith in a providential deity. In To the Friends of Lessing Mendelssohn attempts to unmask the individual whom he believes to be the real enemy of the enlightened state: the Schwärmer.
