Spinoza and Pantheism

C. Carl Pegels

4.9/5 (20310 ratings)

Description:The book entitled "Spinoza and Pantheism" introduces the greatest philosopher the Netherlands ever produced. His name is Baruch Spinoza and he lived in the seventeenth century. He was a Sephardic Jew and lived and grew up in Amsterdam. His grandparents had left Portugal because of the religious persecution in Portugal by the Catholic Church. It insisted that all Jews give up their traditional Judaic religion and become Catholics. The newly established Dutch Republic accepted them as persecuted religious people and allowed them to resettle in Amsterdam. Spinoza was born and had been part of the Jewish Sephardic religion since his birth. But as he grew up in his late teens and early twenties he had become interested in religious matters which not always agreed with the relatively conservative beliefs of the Sephardic Jews in Amsterdam. He was reprimanded by his superiors for his new beliefs and eventually was excommunicated from the Sephardic Community in Amsterdam. He was even forced to leave the city and live somewhere else in the countryside. Spinoza's new religious belief was essentially what we now know as Pantheism, a belief he had developed through his philosophic thinking about God and religion in general. He also developed friendships with other religious thinkers, and eventually became involved with the Remonstrants, a religious liberal Protestant group which had been formed in opposition to the then relatively new Protestant religion of the Dutch Calvinistic Reformed Church. Although Spinoza never became a Protestant, he apparently had strong connections with the Remonstrants in the then Dutch Republic. Spinoza spent the remainder of his rather short life developing and thinking about Pantheism. To this day he is viewed as the originator of Pantheism. It then was not known as Pantheism. It received that name about 50 years later. Spinoza was the first major philosopher of the new Dutch Republic. And until today he is still viewed that way by the Dutch. The Dutch government gives annual research grants, essentially prestigious prizes, to Dutch researchers. These grants are known as Spinoza Prizes. Spinoza's contributions, essentially his description of what Pantheism is, is described in his epic work known as "ETHICS". It is a book with about 3,000 pages. His description of Pantheism is rather complex, but it has been interpreted by a variety of analysts and writers. These works are available on Amazon Kindle at a relatively low prices. Spinoza had a relatively short life. To earn an income he had been involved in lens grinding with the famous Dutch scientist, Constantijn Huygens. Spinoza apparently had inhaled the glass dust from the lens grinding, and this probably was the cause of his early death at the age of 44.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
