Publisher's Synopsis
A Theologico Political Treatise V1 is a book written by Benedict De Spinoza, a Dutch philosopher, during the 17th century. The book is a treatise on both theology and politics, exploring the relationship between the two subjects. Spinoza argues that religion and politics should be separated in order to create a more just and peaceful society. He also criticizes traditional religious beliefs and practices, arguing that they are based on superstition and ignorance. The book is divided into chapters that cover a range of topics, including the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between church and state. Spinoza's writing is characterized by a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels. Overall, A Theologico Political Treatise V1 is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.Every man's true happiness and blessedness consist solely in the enjoyment of what is good, not in the pride that he alone is enjoying it, to the exclusion of others. He who thinks himself the more blessed because he is enjoying benefits which others are not, or because he is more blessed or more fortunate than his fellows, is ignorant of true happiness and blessedness, and the joy which he feels is either childish or envious and malicious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
