| Summary |
The early-modern philosopher Benedict de Spinoza was rejected by the Jewish community of his day, but his thought contains, and critiques, Jewish and Christian ideas. This re-interpretation foregrounds the concept of democracy, showing that Spinoza's theories of the Bible, religion, politics, and philosophy involve a thorough rejection of elitist distinctions. |
