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.

From the mind of one of the world's paramount philosophers comes a profound insight into the universe and man's place in the world. Widely considered to be Benedict de Spinoza's greatest work, Ethics paints an intriguing portrait of reality, the ethical life, and the path to sustainable happiness. Decades ahead of its time, Ethics provides a step-by-step guide to an ethical life. Spinoza provides insights into the human mind, God, emotions, and man's bondage to emotion.

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.

Baruch de Spinoza (also known as Benedict or Bento de Spinoza;1632-1677) is a titan of philosophy who drew on his Sephardic Jewish background and on his education in the classics and in philosophy at the hands of an ex-Jesuit. He grew up speaking Portuguese in Amsterdam but was educated in Spanish and Hebrew. A quiet, calm man, Spinoza nevertheless angered the theological authorities of his Sephardic community of Portuguese and Spanish Jews. The result was a harsh decree of excommunication. Many consider his greatest work to be his Ethics (1677), published posthumously. In this work, he ...

"The Story of Philosophy: Spinoza" by Will Durant provides an engaging and comprehensive exploration of the life and philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, one of the most influential thinkers of the 17th century. Durant delves into Spinoza's biography, detailing his upbringing in a Portuguese Jewish family in the Netherlands, his excommunication from the Jewish community of Amsterdam due to his radical ideas, and his life of modesty and philosophical inquiry as a lens grinder.

Spinoza's brilliant metaphysical system was derived neither from reality nor experience. Starting from basic assumptions, with a series of geometric proofs he built a universe which was also God, one and the same thing, the classic example of pantheism. Although his system seems an oddity today, Spinoza's conclusions are deeply in accord with modern thought, from science (the holistic ethics of today's ecologists) to politics (the idea that the state exists to protect the individual).

In 1656, after being excommunicated from Amsterdam's Portuguese-Jewish community for "abominable heresies" and "monstrous deeds", the young Baruch Spinoza abandoned his family's import business to dedicate his life to philosophy. He quickly became notorious across Europe for his views on God, the Bible, and miracles, as well as for his uncompromising defense of free thought.

Spinoza is a philosophical and literary fresco that breathes life and voice back into one of history’s most fascinating thinkers.

Pendant plus de quinze ans, Gilles Deleuze a donné son cours le mardi, de 10 h à 13 h 30, dans une salle ordinaire de l'université Paris VIII. Il était hostile aux amphithéâtres dont il disait qu'ils coupaient tout échange. Au premier rang, les prévoyants arrivaient dès 8 h 30 : étudiants japonais avec magnéto high-tech, retraités ou habitués passionnés. Les suivants se mettaient où ils pouvaient jusqu'à former des grappes autour de la porte. Ce cours était un mélange incroyable de liberté et d'une parole magistrale avec des moments d'inspiration de haute volée.

Amsterdam, 1640. Un homme est excommunié de la communauté juive portugaise pour avoir remis en question les Saintes Ecritures. Le jeune Bento de Espinosa assiste à la scène et l'épisode fait germer en lui un doute. Et si tout ce qui est écrit dans la Bible était faux ? Le soupçon va lancer Bento dans la plus grande quête intellectuelle qui soit. Qui a écrit les textes sacrés ? Qui est vraiment Dieu ? Qu'est-ce que la nature ? Toutes ces questions sont extrêmement dangereuses et le jeune Spinoza va bientôt en payer le prix. Juifs et chrétiens l'accusent d'hérésie et commencent à le persécuter.
