This book has been written to help test-takers more efficiently go through the reasoning process when answering multiple-choice questions. It points out a series of clues to both the distracter choices and the correct answers. These clues are inherent in the making of standardized exams, as distracter choices often point to the correct answer. Furthermore, the book studies how academic tests are constructed, and how and why certain strategies are consistently used by test-makers in the writing of these distracter choices. Test scores automatically improve when these strategies and clues are learned, as the correct answers will stick out more than ever once you have acquired this knowledge. While the focus is on helping students in academia, this book is also of value to anyone who needs to take a test to get a professional license, certification, promotion, or any type of evaluation.
Harvey Mitchell’s book argues that a reassessment of Voltaire’s treatment of traditional Judaism will sharpen discussion of the origins of, and responses to, the Enlightenment. His study shows how Voltaire’s nearly total antipathy to Judaism is best understood by stressing his self-regard as the author of an enlightened and rational universal history, which found Judaism’s memory of its past incoherent, and, in addition, failed to meet the criteria of objective history—a project in which he failed. Calling on an array of Jewish and non-Jewish figures to reveal how modern interpretations of Judaism may be traced to the core ideas of the Enlightenment, this book concludes that Voltaire paradoxically helped to foster the ambiguities and uncertainties of Judaism’s future.
