Enlightenment That Failed
The Enlightenment that Failed explores the growing rift between those Enlightenment trends and initiatives that appealed exclusively to elites and those aspiring to enlighten all of society by raising mankind's awareness, freedoms, and educational level generally. Jonathan I. Israel explains why the democratic and radical secularizing tendency of the Western Enlightenment, after gaining some notable successes during the revolutionary era (1775-18…
Spinoza and Spinozism in the Western Enlightenment
This article seeks to outline the main elements in the historiographical controversy over the significance of 'Spinozism' as an eighteenth-century Enlightenment category and the validity or otherwise of the concept of 'Radical Enlightenment' as well as the relationship between these two categories. Defining 'Radical Enlightenment' as the philosophical rejection of religious authority combined with a democratic tending system of social and politic…
The ‘War of the Encyclopédie’
This chapter argues that the first stage of the ‘guerre de l’Encyclopédie’, down to the autumn of 1752, has a crucial significance in both intellectual and wider social-cultural history. Historians have often noted that it was at this point that the lines of ideological confrontation in France were reconfigured in a new way and that the parti philosophique first acquired its public profile as a ‘sect’ or party within French society and cultural l…
The Recovery of Greek Thought
This chapter begins with a discussion of the Greek ‘revolution’ as being Man’s first great ‘enlightenment’ — the Presocratics’ discovery of philosophical argument and criticism. It focuses on Xenophanes of Colophon, one of the most vigorously debated of the Presocratics before 1750. The chapter then turns to 3rd-century bc philosopher Strato of Lampsacus, who is widely believed to be the ancient precursor of Spinoza.
From Voltaire to Diderot
This chapter argues that the authentically Newtonian inspiration of Voltaire's thought and his deep veneration of Locke reflected the main line of the French Enlightenment only briefly, as it developed in the 1730s down to the mid 1740s. Voltaire, furthermore, however brilliant and confrontational his writing, and however vast the impact of his caustic personality on his century, was a social and intellectual reformer in only a very few, restrict…
The French Enlightenment prior to Voltaire's Lettres philosophiques (1734)
This chapter focuses on a neglected aspect of the French Enlightenment — the remarkably complex and far-reaching intellectual upheaval that occurred between the death of ‘Louis the great’, as he was then called, in 1715, and Voltaire’s emergence as the pre-eminent figure in the French intellectual arena in the later 1730s. In just a few years, from 1715, the closely supervised, rigid, cultural system enforced in France by an increasingly intolera…
Realigning the Parti philosophique
This chapter begins with a discussion of Voltaire's Enlightenment. The decisive period of Voltaire's formation as a philosopher was the years 1732–8 when he worked painstakingly to fashion a coherent system for himself and succeeded in reconfiguring, and briefly dominating, the French intellectual stage as a whole. By the mid 1730s, he could look forward to presiding over a wide-ranging programme of reform and renewal in French philosophy, scienc…
Men, Animals, Plants, and Fossils
This chapter focuses on Early Enlightenment French clandestine philosophical literature. The clandestine manuscripts exerted their greatest impact during the 1720s and 1730s, when two rival materialist solutions competed. On the one hand, some support was retained for an older conception of the soul as something consisting of invisible, superfine particles of matter, animating animals as well as men, and emanating, like fire or light, from heavie…
Enlightenment Contested
The author presents the first major reassessment of the Western Enlightenment for a generation. Continuing the story he began in Radical Enlightenment, and now focusing his attention on the first half of the 18th century, he returns to the original sources to offer a new perspective on the nature and development of the most important currents in modern thought. The author traces many of the core principles of Western modernity to their roots in t…
Fontenelle and the War of the Oracles
Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle (1657–1757), native of Rouen, nephew of Corneille, and star pupil of the Jesuits, was the first prominent high-society philosophe and general commentator on science, and the progress of the new learning, in France. Admired by Voltaire, and Diderot, upon both of whom his influence was considerable, he has invariably been reckoned a key precursor and pioneer of the French Enlightenment and one, moreover, who enjoyed …
The Learned Journals
This chapter discusses how periodicals emerged as a powerful machine undermining traditional structures of authority, knowledge, and doctrine. Everywhere, awareness of new ideas and knowledge, new books, and debates had been enhanced and enriched. Through the journals, Europe had, for the first time, amalgamated into a single intellectual arena. Henceforth, debates, controversies, the reception of new books and theories and their evaluation, were…

Radical Enlightenment
The Radical Enlightenment was a revolutionary set of ideas which helped lay the foundations of the modern world on the basis of equality, democracy, secular values, and universality. This controversial and original study by the internationally renowned cultural historian Jonathan I. Israel shows how Spinoza and his thought set the intellectual current towards the intellectual and political revolutions of the later eighteenth century

Conflicts of Empires
In and out of the Ghetto
During the 1920s much attention was paid to the history of Jews in Germany since the Enlightenment and the subject became popular again, with renewed emphasis, after 1945. Many historians were deeply committed to understanding and explaining the tragic path that led from the emancipation of the Jews to the Holocaust. For a long time, much less work was done on the history of Jews in Germany in earlier periods, particularly the period between the …

Central European Jewry during the Thirty Years' War
Despite the wealth of published studies on individual German, Austrian, and Czech Jewish communities of the early modern era, it is remarkable how rare have been the attempts to synthesize the material and reach an overall assessment of the impact of the Thirty Years' War on Central European Jewish life. This gaping lacuna was noted some years ago by S. W. Baron, whose own general discussion of this subject is virtually unique. Immensely erudite,…

The Dutch-Spanish confrontation in the 17th century began as a local insurrection but evolved into the world's first global conflict--a conflict that profoundly influenced the relationship between Europe and the Indies as well as the European balance of power and the world economy. This is the first study of the conflict and its immediate aftermath. Israel reveals the deep and complex divisions between the political elites on both sides and demon…

Decline (1713–1750)
It is important to note that during the expansion of the European Jewry, the diaspora undergone by the Jewish population – especially in central Europe, Spain, Poland, and Italy – veered away from the general demographic trends across Europe, since other populations either experienced declines or remained stagnated. This pattern was evident not only among the Jews across Europe in the seventeenth century, but also in other such places wherein the…

This chapter focuses on William III and his contribution to the cause of religious toleration and advancement of religious and intellectual programs in Britain, in the Dutch Republic, and in the North American colonies.
