Benedict de Spinoza's Ethics, first published in 1677, constitutes a major systematic critique of the traditional and religious foundations of philosophical thought. In it, Spinoza follows a logical step-by-step format consisting of definitions, axioms, propositions, proofs, and corollaries to create a comprehensive inquiry into the truth about God, nature, and humans' place within the universe. From these broad metaphysical themes, Spinoza derives what he considered to be the highest principles of religion and society and lays out an ethical system in which reason is the supreme value.

Baruch Spinoza ha sido llamado el Príncipe de los Filósofos; Hegel dijo de él que la alternativa era: o Spinoza, o ninguna filosofía. Al sentar las bases para la Ilustración del siglo XVIII y la crítica bíblica moderna, incluyendo las concepciones modernas del yo y el universo, llegó a ser considerado uno de los grandes racionalistas de la filosofía del siglo XVII: tuvo el coraje de criticar el tradicionalismo de la religión, para ofrecer una concepción de Dios que fuera lógica en vez de rígidamente definida por un dogma superficial.

Though it first aroused anger and controversy rather than admiration and acceptance, A Theologico-Political Treatise was a landmark in the analysis of theology (with particular reference to the Bible and its Jewish and Christian interpretations) and its relationship to philosophy and politics. Spinoza’s scholarly analysis, based on careful study, demonstrated that the Bible was composed by many writers over the centuries - and that even the Pentateuch, the first five books, were not the work of Moses, as was generally assumed at the time.

Par son titre même, le Traité théologico-politique pose la question du trait d'union entre la théologie et la politique, c'est-à-dire entre la religion et l'État. C'est dans la Lettre 30 à Oldenburg que Spinoza donne les trois raisons qui l'ont amené à problématiser dans ce traité le rapport entre théologie et politique. Tout d'abord, il s'agit de réfuter les préjugés des théologiens, ces hommes d'Église qui exigent la seule croyance, une foi dogmatique, incompatible avec une liberté de penser dont la raison examinerait les dogmes.

As a young Jewish man in 17th century Amsterdam, Baruch de Spinoza excelled as a theological student; but as he encountered free-thinking Protestants, atheists, and radicals in this relatively tolerant city, he began to question his religion and the nature of God. As a result, he was branded a heretic and faced excommunication. Directed by Rosalind Ayres. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles.

Baruch Spinoza was one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the 17th century. He rejected both the mind-body dualism of Descartes and traditional religious views, which got him violently attacked for atheism while he was actually seeking to redefine God as the whole of the laws of Nature. His metaphysics are a brilliant attempt to reconcile human freedom with a belief in scientific explanation, and his Theological-Political Treatise, the first argument for democracy by a major philosopher, contributed as much as the Declaration of Independence or Thomas Paine's Common Sense to modern liberal, secular, and democratic thinking.

"Le Prince des philosophes" selon Deleuze, un "précurseur" selon Nietzsche ; d'après Hegel, "l'alternative est : Spinoza ou pas de philosophie". Penseur hollandais et figure incontournable de la philosophie, Spinoza a été pris à tort pour un auteur athée. En réalité, il critique les positions traditionalistes des religions révélées, pour proposer une religion traditionnelle. On dit de Spinoza que, victime d'une tentative d'assassinat, il aurait conservé le manteau troué par le poignard pour se rappeler que la passion religieuse mène à la folie.

Baruch Spinoza has been called the Prince of Philosophers; Hegel said of him that the alternative was: either Spinoza, or no philosophy at all. By laying the groundwork for the 18th-century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism, including modern conceptions of the self and the universe, he came to be considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy: he had the courage to criticize the traditionalism of religion, to offer a conception of God that would be logic instead of rigidly defined by a shallow dogma.

Baruch Spinoza är Philosophers Prince; Hegel sa till honom att det var ett alternativ: antingen Spinoza eller ingen filosofi alls. Genom att lägga grunden för den 18: e århundradet upplysningen och modern biblisk kritik, bland annat moderna uppfattningar om jaget och universum kom att betraktas som en av de stora rational av 17-talet filosofi: han tapperhet till traditionalism av kritik religion, till en föreställning om Gud, logiken i stället för fast definierade skulle ge en grund dogm.

From the 17th to 18th centuries, bold thinkers cast off the authority of ancient traditions and embraced reason as the primary tool for understanding the world.

Early Modern Philosophy: Descartes and the Rationalists covers the key philosophers of this period in 12 fascinating half-hour lectures, presented by award-winning teacher James D. Reid, Professor of Philosophy at Metropolitan State University.
