The Political Works Benedict De Spinoza 1965

Description

The Political Works by Benedict De Spinoza

The Tractatus Theologico-Politicus in Part & the Tractatus Politicus in Full. Edited and translated with an introduction and notes by A.G. Wernham. As the title makes clear, the Theological-Political Treatise addresses both religion and politics, defending controversial positions in both fields. Spinoza's rigorous argument against miracles was a prime target for the religious establishment, but his advocacy of radical democracy, freedom of speech (far beyond what was allowed in his country), and especially of restraining the interference of the clergy also raised much consternation. The Tractatus Politicus, wherein is demonstrated, how the society in which monarchical dominion finds place, as also that in which the dominion is aristocratic, should be ordered, so as not to lapse into a tyranny, but to preserve inviolate the peace and freedom of the citizens.
