Benedict de Spinoza is one of the most controversial and enigmatic
thinkers in the history of philosophy. His greatest work, Ethics
(1677), developed a comprehensive philosophical system and argued
that God and Nature are identical. His scandalous
Theological-Political Treatise (1670) provoked outrage during his
lifetime due to its biblical criticism, anticlericalism, and
defense of the freedom to philosophize. Together, these works
earned Spinoza a reputation as a singularly radical thinker. In
this book, Steinberg and Viljanen offer a concise and up-to-date
account of Spinoza's thought and its philosophical legacy. They
explore the full range of Spinoza's ideas, from politics and
theology to ontology and epistemology. Drawing broadly on Spinoza's
impressive oeuvre, they have crafted a lucid introduction for
readers unfamiliar with this important philosopher, as well as a
nuanced and enlightening study for more experienced readers.
Accessible and compelling, Spinoza is the go-to text for anyone
seeking to understand the thought of one of history's most
fascinating thinkers.
