Baruch Spinoza Baruch Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher and religious thinker who was born on November 24, 1632 in Amsterdam. His family was Spanish-Portuguese Jews who were refugees to Holland. Spinoza was taught his early education from Jewish sources. He later went on to study other Jewish thinkers such as Maimonides, Gersonides, and Crescas. Baruch became interested in the physical sciences and the works of Thomas Hobbes and Rene Descartes. As a result of his studies, he grew away from Judaism and withdrew from the synagogue. In 1656, the rabbis banished Spinoza from Amsterdam. For the next five years he lived on the outside of the city were he supported himself by grinding optical lenses. During this time, Spinoza wrote his first philosophical work Treatise on God and Man and His Happiness . This work explained and outlined a good part of Spinoza's philosophical beliefs. In 1661, Spinoza moved to Rijnsburg and a few years later he moved to Voorburg. From there he moved to The Hague. Soon after moving to the Hague, he was offered a Chair in Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg . Spinoza declined the offer. He was afraid it might compromise his freedom of thought and speech. At this time, Baruch Spinoza was well known and was well respected for his work. King Louis XIV of France offered Spinoza a pension on the condition that he dedicate one of his works to the monarch. Again, Spinoza rejected the offer.

Numerous links to texts, studies and bibliographies. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Baruch Spinoza Baruch (or Benedictus) Spinoza is one of the most important philosophers and certainly the most radical of the early modern period. His thought combines a commitment to Cartesian metaphysical and epistemological principles with elements from ancient Stoicism and medieval Jewish rationalism into a nonetheless highly original system. His extremely naturalistic views on God, the world, the human being and knowledge serve to ground a moral philosophy centered on the control of the passions leading to virtue and happiness. They also lay the foundations for a strongly democratic political thought and a deep critique of the pretensions of Scripture and sectarian religion. Of all the philosophers of the seventeenth-century, perhaps none have more relevance today than Spinoza.

Introduction Spinoza, Baruch (1632-1677), Dutch-Jewish philosopher. His given name, in Portuguese, was Bento; its Latin form was Benedictus. He was perhaps the most original and radical thinker of his time. He was also, for this reason, among the most vilified figures in the early modern period, and political and religious authorities issued numerous condemnations of his ideas. Despite this formidable opposition, Spinoza had a strong influence upon the Enlightenment and upon the development of modern philosophical, political, and religious thought. Spinoza was born in Amsterdam in 1632 to a prominent merchant family in the city’s Portuguese-Jewish community. As an intellectually gifted boy, he was undoubtedly one of the star pupils in the congregation’s Talmud Torah school, but he never made it into the upper levels of the curriculum. At the age of 17 he was forced to cut short his formal studies to help run the family’s import business. And then, on July 27, 1656, the 23-year-old Spinoza was issued the harshest writ of cherem , or excommunication, ever pronounced by the Sephardic community of Amsterdam; the ban was never rescinded. We do not know for certain what Spinoza’s “monstrous deeds” and “abominable heresies” were alleged to have been. But there is good reason to believe that he was, even as a young man, already giving utterance to just those radical ideas that would later appear in his mature philosophical treatises. In those works, Spinoza denies the immortality of the soul; strongly rejects the notion of a providential God; and claims that the Mosaic Law neither was literally given by God (to Moses) nor is any longer binding on Jews. Such opinions would have been troubling both to the rabbis and governors of the Portuguese community and to the Calvinist authorities of Holland within whose domain the Jews, many of whom were refugees from the Inquisition, resided.

Fu educato nella scuola della comunità israelitica in Olanda, dove studiò l'ebraico, la Bibbia, la lingua latina e la matematica; ma nel 1656 venne da essa scomunicato, cacciato dalla sinagoga ed espulso dal “popolo d'Israele” per eresie, Spinoza abbandonò qualche anno dopo Amsterdam, stabilendosi prima presso Leyda e poi all’Aia, dove trascorse il resto della sua vita nella meditazione e nella composizione delle sue opere, lavorando come lucidatore di lenti per strumenti ottici. Le sue prima opera fu un Trattato su Dio e sull’uomo e la sua felicità (andò perduta e fu ritrovata e pubblicata verso la metà del‘800), altri scritti sono: Principi della filosofia di Cartesio (Renati Descartes principia philosophiae), i Pensieri metafisici (Cogitata metaphysica), Trattato teologico-politico, il quale dichiarava che “in una libera comunità dovrebbe essere lecito ad ognuno pensare quello che vuole e dire ciò che pensa” (il libro fu condannato dalla chiesa e Spinoza dovette impedirne la pubblicazione), ed infine l’opera sua più importante, l’Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrata la quale fu terminata nel 1674 e pubblicata solo dopo la sua morte avvenuta il 21 febbraio 1677.
