His greatest work, \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e (1677), developed a comprehensive philosophical system and argued that God and Nature are identical. His scandalous \u003ci\u003eTheological-Political Treatise\u003c\/i\u003e (1670) provoked outrage during his lifetime due to its biblical criticism, anticlericalism, and defense of the freedom to philosophize. Together, these works earned Spinoza a reputation as a singularly radical thinker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Steinberg and Viljanen offer a concise and up-to-date account of Spinoza’s thought and its philosophical legacy. They explore the full range of Spinoza’s ideas, from politics and theology to ontology and epistemology. Drawing broadly on Spinoza’s impressive oeuvre, they have crafted a lucid introduction for readers unfamiliar with this important philosopher, as well as a nuanced and enlightening study for more experienced readers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessible and compelling, \u003ci\u003eSpinoza\u003c\/i\u003e is the go-to text for anyone seeking to understand the thought of one of history’s most fascinating thinkers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJustin Steinberg\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Brooklyn College, CUNY.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eValtteri Viljanen\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Cultural History at the University of Turku.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 December 2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745664897\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379877998732,"sku":"9780745664897","price":62.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745664897.jpg?v=1781090506","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780745664897","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
