Paperback. Hertzberg develops his daring thesis that the "modern, secular, anti-Semitism was fashioned not as a reaction to the Enlightenment and the Revolution, but within the Enlightenment and Revolution themselves." He finds that modern anti-Semitism owes less to Christian theological mentality than to doctrinaire libertarianism of figures such as Voltaire, d'Holbach, Diderot, and Marat. Num Pages: 420 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: HBTB; JFC; JFSR1; JPVH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 206 x 136 x 30. Weight in Grams: 468.
