The Philosophy of Spinoza
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning
My Jewish Learning will host a new four-part course on Baruch Spinoza, beginning with his excommunication by Jewish leaders in Amsterdam on July 27, 1656, for his controversial views on Judaism and God. The course, led by renowned Spinoza scholar Steven Nadler, will cover Spinoza’s core philosophical principles, including his conception of God, views on the Bible and Jewish law, and the immortality of the human soul. This exploration underscores the enduring relevance of Spinoza’s ideas in understanding Judaism and human nature today.
