Spinoza and Dutch Cartesianism
Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (2015)
Abstract
Alexander X. Douglas situates Spinoza's philosophy in its immediate historical context, and argues that much of his work was conceived with the aim of rebutting the claims of his contemporaries. In contrast to them, Spinoza argued that philosophy reveals the true nature of God, and reinterpreted the concept of God in profound and radical ways.Author's Profile
