From Pulitzer Prize Finalist Steven Nadler, A Fascinating Historical And Philosophical Narrative That Unravels The Mystery Of Whether Spinoza Was An Atheistin 1656, A Young Amsterdam Merchant Was Excommunicated By His PortugueseJewish Community In The Harshest Terms It Had Ever Used. Baruch Spinoza Was Accused Of Unspecified Horrifying Heresies, But The Precise Reasons For His Expulsion Remain A Mystery. When He Published His TheologicalPolitical Treatise In 1670, Which Was Condemned As The Most Atheistic Book Ever Written, He Began To Reveal To The World What His Heresies May Have Been. Yet Ever Since The Eighteenth Century, Most Readers And Scholars Have Assumed That Spinoza Was A PantheistEven A GodIntoxicated Man, As The Poet Novalis Put It. After All, How Could A Person Whose Books Are Suffused With Talk Of God Be An Atheist? In Spinoza, Atheist, Steven Nadler, One Of The WorldS Leading Authorities On The Philosopher, Aims To Settle The Question And Show That ThatS Exactly What He Was.Nadler Makes A Powerful Case That There Is No Real Divinity For Spinoza. God Is Nature, And IsnT An Object Of Worshipful Awe Or Religious Reverence But Can Only Be Understood Through Philosophy And Science. There Is Nothing SupernaturalNo Mystery, Ineffability, Or Sublimity. Spinoza Does Speak Of Blessedness And Salvation, But These, Too, Are To Be Understood In Natural And Rational Terms, As The Peace Of Mind And Happiness That Come From Understanding Ourselves And The World.Whether Spinoza Believed In God Is A Fascinating And Enduring Controversy. Spinoza, Atheist Promises To Transform Our Understanding Of His Views And To Make Clear Just How Radical A Thinker He Was And Remains.
