“Here is an interpretation of Spinoza’s fundamental ideas in the light of the social problems of our own time. Dr. Joseph Dunner, Chairman of the Political Science Department at Grinnell College and life-long student of Spinoza, has tried to translate Spinozistic concepts into modern, everyday language and to demonstrate the significance of The Ethics, the Theologico-Political Treatise and the Political Treatise in the struggle of our Western civilization with the totalitarian claims made by the protagonists of both the Soviet and the Fascist systems of government.We in America think of Locke, Montesquieu and Rousseau as the European forefathers of our democratic faith. To these Dunner would add Spinoza as a pioneer of Western thought and democratic principle. The proofs he presents are very persuasive.In a letter to the author, Ben Gurion, first Prime Minister of the State of Israel, has called Spinoza the “greatest and most original thinker” of the Jewish people. In using this statement as a preface to his book, Dunner affirms his agreement with Ben Gurion’s evaluation. Banned by the “Herem”, a residue of medieval heresy-hunting, Spinoza of necessity lived apart from his people. But his austere monotheism, his love of truth, and his struggle for the oppressed – all are in the best Jewish tradition.Modern man, increasingly disillusioned with the “causes” of but yesterday, has been led to such extremes as Existentialism, with its thesis that existence has no meaning beyond itself. In Baruch Spinoza and Western Democracy Joseph Dunner offers a vigorous challenge to the voices of despair.”- Publisher

There is an inherent tension between popular and establishment powers in political communities. With anti-establishment sentiment on the rise across Western democracies, exploring the underpinnings of this dualism and rethinking theories of political life within states is of paramount importance. By combining the theories of Carl Schmitt and Benedict Spinoza, this book develops a framework of continuous reproduction, whereby the two powers simultaneously hold one another in tension and supersede one another. In the same vein, political communities are shown to be perpetually caught in a cycle of creativity/contestation, derived primarily from Schmitt (the tragic groundlessness of politics) and limitation (derived primarily from Spinoza as a quasi-theological belief in the status quo). Providing a novel theoretical framework explaining the workings of democratic politics, this book also offers a non-traditional reading of Spinoza and Schmitt. Whereas traditionally both have been treated as almost polar opposites, here they are held in creative tension, providing equally important building blocks for the proposed theory. By furthering their analysis, the author creates a new theory of political action.

By radically re-reading the 'Theological Political Treatise', Dimitris Vardoulakis argues that Spinoza's Epicurean influence has profound implications for his conception of politics and ontology. This reconsideration of Spinoza's political project, set within a historical context, lays the ground for an alternative genealogy of materialism.

Spinoza S Revelation written by Nancy K. Levene and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004-08-12 with Religion categories.
Nancy Levene reinterprets a major early modern philosopher, Benedict de Spinoza - a Jew who was rejected by the Jewish community of his day but whose thought contains, and critiques, both Jewish and Christian ideas. It foregrounds the connection of religion, democracy, and reason, showing that Spinoza's theories of the Bible, the theologico-political, and the philosophical all involve the concepts of equality and sovereignty. Professor Levene argues that Spinoza's concept of revelation is the key to this connection, and above all to Spinoza's view of human power. This is to shift the emphasis in Spinoza's thought from the language of amor Dei (love of God) to the language of libertas humana (human freedom) without losing either the dialectic of his most striking claim - that man is God to man - or the Jewish and Christian elements in his thought. Original and thoughtfully argued, this book offers fresh insights into Spinoza's thought.

Baruch Spinoza is one of the most influential and controversial political philosophers of the early modern period. Though best-known for his contributions to metaphysics, Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise (1670) and his unfinished Political Treatise (1677) were widely debated and helped to shape the political writings of philosophers as diverse as Rousseau, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and (although he publicly denied it) even Locke. In addition to its enormous historical importance, Spinoza’s political philosophy is also strikingly contemporary in its advocacy of toleration of unpopular religious and political views and his concern with stabilizing religiously diverse democratic societies. The first Guidebook to Spinoza’s political writings, The Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Spinoza on Politics covers the following key points: Spinoza’s life and the background to his philosophy the key themes and arguments of the Theological-Political-Treatise and Political Treatise the continuing importance of Spinoza’s work to philosophy. This book is an ideal starting point for anyone new to Spinoza and essential reading for students of political philosophy and seventeenth-century philosophy.
