| Summary: | "At his death, Spinoza left two major works, very different from one another. Two books, two styles of argument, two very different paths to salvation, arguably two Gods and arguably two very different kinds of kinds of salvation at the end. But one author. The challenge is evident: how do these books fit together? One is about reason, the other about revelation, one is about personal salvation, the other more focused on how we live together. Spinoza's writing has always drawn strong reactions, both positive and negative: he was accepted by some as a kind of secular prophet offering us a guide to life, and rejected by others as a kind of atheist and heretic. In this book, a diverse international group of seventeen scholars confronts these two central works in the philosophical canon, and explores what Spinoza is trying to tell us about life, the world, and our place in it." -- A diverse international group of scholars explore Spinoza's two major works 'Ethics', and 'Tractatus theologico-politicus'. The essays confront both of these works together, and attempt to understand the ways in which they are related to one another. |
