Spinoza's religion : a new reading of the Ethics
Carlisle, Clare, 1977-2021
Books
A bold reevaluation of Spinoza that reveals his powerful inclusive vision of religion for the modern age. Spinoza is widely regarded as either a God-forsaking atheist or a God-intoxicated pantheist, but Clare Carlisle says that he was neither. In 'Spinoza's Religion', she sets out a bold interpretation of Spinoza through a lucid new reading of his masterpiece, the Ethics. Putting the question of religion centre-stage but refusing to convert Spinozism to Christianity, Carlisle reveals that 'being in God' unites Spinoza's metaphysics and ethics.
