Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was one of the most important
philosophers of all time; he was also one of the most radical and
controversial. The story of Spinoza's life takes the reader into
the heart of Jewish Amsterdam in the seventeenth century and, with
Spinoza's exile from Judaism, into the midst of the tumultuous
political, social, intellectual, and religious world of the young
Dutch Republic. This new edition of Steven Nadler's biography,
winner of the Koret Jewish Book Award for biography and translated
into a dozen languages, is enhanced by exciting new archival
discoveries about his family background, his youth, and the various
philosophical, political, and religious contexts of his life and
works. There is more detail about his family's business and
communal activities, about his relationships with friends and
correspondents, and about the development of his writings, which
were so scandalous to his contemporaries.
