Description

Examining the philosophical, theological, and political teachings of the Tractatus theologico-politicus, this book proposes that Benedict Spinoza fashions a theocratic or “theologico-political” solution to the “natural problem” of human selfishness or unsociability. Spinoza’s theocratic solution makes him a “new Moses.”
