Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise was published anonymously
in 1670 and immediately provoked huge debate. Its main goal was to
claim that the freedom of philosophizing can be allowed in a free
republic and that it cannot be abolished without also destroying
the peace and piety of that republic. Spinoza criticizes the
traditional claims of revelation and offers a social contract
theory in which he praises democracy as the most natural form of
government. This Critical Guide presents essays by well-known
scholars in the field and covers a broad range of topics, including
the political theory and the metaphysics of the work, religious
toleration, the reception of the text by other early modern
philosophers and the relation of the text to Jewish thought. It
offers valuable perspectives on this important and influential
work.
