Books by Jonathan I. Israel

As usual, I will issue an addendum at the end of the year, because I will be reading a lot between now and then.  I haven’t even received my 1344-pp. Jonathan Israel biography of Spinoza yet.  Here is my earlier list on the year’s fiction .  And apologies for any of your books I have forgotten to list, there are always some such cases.

Jonathan Israel, Democratic Enlightenment: Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights, 1750-1790 .  With 1152 pages, a major author, and a clear writing style, this is a major work.  I’ve only browsed it.
