The God of Spinoza : A Philosophical Study, Hardback Book

The God of Spinoza : A Philosophical Study Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book is the fullest study in English for many years on the role of God in Spinoza's philosophy.

Spinoza has been called both a 'God-intoxicated man' and an atheist, both a pioneer of secular Judaism and a bitter critic of religion.

He was born a Jew but chose to live outside any religious community.

He was deeply engaged both in traditional Hebrew learning and in contemporary physical science.

He identified God with nature or substance: a theme which runs through his work, enabling him to naturalise religion but - equally important - to divinise nature.

He emerges not as a rationalist precursor of the Enlightenment but as a thinker of the highest importance in his own right, both in philosophy and in religion.
