Summary:
A Portuguese Jew living in Holland, Spinoza was excommunicated because of the unorthodox view he took of God. Spinoza composed in the rationalist style of a geometric evidence to build up his idea of God as the infinite, indwelling cause of all things, a unified causal system that is practically synonymous with character. In this technique, there is no free will, for everything are necessary and inevitable, and everything objects, including humans, are component of God’s active self-expression. Human fulfillment is possible, he believed, only by rejecting our finite, flawed selves and determining with the eternal within us.
