Baruch Spinoza  

Definition

  • Baruch Spinoza scandalized the Western European world and his own Jewish community as his naturalist metaphysics drew accusations of heresy and atheism. His two political treatises and his magnum opus, the Ethics, comprise a rich treatment of politics grounded in his naturalism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Spinoza, Baruch (1632–1677)]
