Product Description
Review
‘… a fine contribution to our understanding of those aspects of Spinoza’s thought.’ Steven Nadler, British Journal for the History of Philosophy
‘ … an important and stimulating book.’ Philosophical Books
'This is a very good book … This brave new theology still needs to be heard. Armed with a copy of the Ethics and Mason's book, we can begin to hear it effectively.' Scottish Journal of Theology
Product 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.
