summary

The theme of the work is the Socratic question which had previously been explored in Plato's works, as to how Man should best live. One of Isaac Satanow's contributions to the Maskilic thought was to produce important philosophical texts from the medieval and Renaissance periods. S. Feiner, The Jewish Enlightenment (2002), p. 325
