Compare Spinoza: A Very Short Introduction by Roger Scruton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Benedict de Spinoza (1632-77) was at once the father of the Enlightenment and the last sad guardian of the medieval world. In his brilliant synthesis of geometrical method, religious sentiment, and secular science, he attempted to reconcile the conflicting moral and intellectual demands of hisepoch, and to present a vision of humanity as simultaneously bound by necessity and eternally free. In this book Roger Scruton presents a clear and systematic analysis of Spinoza's thought, and shows its relevance to today's intellectual preoccupations. | Spinoza: A Very Short Introduction by Roger Scruton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
