A Theologico Political Treatise
Description
Spinoza critiques organized religion and religious intolerance, and puts forward the heretical ideas that faith should be analyzed using reason. He believes secular governments should be given precedence over religious ones. Rational examination of the Old Testament to show that freedom of thought and speech is consistent with the religious life. True religion consists in practice of simple piety, independent of philosophical speculation. Also unfinished essay on theory of government founded on common consent. One of Spinoza’s most important works. R. Elwes translation.
