The Jewish Question arises for Frederic Raphael in many forms. It is not, however, the only concern of the 50 essays and causeries collected in this work. As the title, with its allusion to Shelley, suggests, it is impossible to forget the past. How shall we make reasonable sense of a world that proves unreasonable time after time? The book shows how a humane secular society can retain its roots.
