BAGLEY, PAUL J. - Philosophy, Theology and Politics. A reading of Benedict Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus. ISBN 9789004164857

Brill, Leiden, 2008. 252 pp. As new. Hardcover. The interpretation of Spinoza’s theologico-political teaching remains a matter of controversy. Is Spinoza simply addressing contemporary difficulties in The Netherlands of the late 1660s? Or is he attempting to solve a more basic and enduring human problem? In this book, it is argued that against the background of contemporary concerns, Spinoza treats the more fundamental `natural problem´ of reconciling those who live by ´the dictates of reason´ with those who live by ´the urgings of the passions´. Based upon his accounts of theology, human nature, and politics, Spinoza fashions a theocratic or theologico-political solution to the natural problem by holding that the universal religion and the democratic liberalism of the treatise share a common purpose. Thus, Spinoza becomes a ´new Moses´. ISBN: 9789004164857
