Gérard Vallée has collected in this volume some "soundings" on the diverse, often paradoxical, philosophical writings of Gotthold Ephrain Lessing. Rather than pigeonhole Lessing into a single school of thought, Vallée has involved himself in a dialogue with his questionings. The six essays are focused on the philosophy of religion contained in his works, although the term "philosophy of religion" had not yet come into popular use while Lessing was writing. A fresh approach, accessible for readers new to Lessing as well as serious scholars, Soundings in G.E. Lessing's Philosophy of Religion will be of interest to philosophers and students of religion.

Weiss examines the style and method of Hermann Cohen's magnum opus, Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism. Through philosophical and scriptural analyses, Weiss argues for a new reading of this long-misunderstood book, demonstrating Cohen's continuing significance for Jewish thought and for philosophy of religion more broadly.

Philosophy begins with wonder, according to Plato and Aristotle. Yet Plato and Aristotle did not expand a great deal on what precisely wonder is. Does this fact alone not raise curiosity in us as to why this passion or concept is important? What is wonder's role in science, philosophy, or theology except to end thinking or theorizing as soon as one begins? The primary purpose of this book is to show how seventeenth- and eighteenth-century developments in natural theology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of science resulted in a complex history of the passion of wonder-a history in which the elements of continuation, criticism, and reformulation are equally present. Philosophy Begins in Wonder provides the first historical overview of wonder and changes the way we see early modern Europe. It is intended for readers who are curious-who wonder-about how modern philosophy and science were born. The book is for scholars and educated readers alike.
