Publisher's Synopsis
""A Theologico Political Treatise V2"" is a philosophical work written by Benedict de Spinoza in the 17th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with theology and the second part deals with politics. In the first part, Spinoza argues that God is the only substance that exists and that everything else is a mode or attribute of God. He also critiques traditional religious beliefs and argues for a more rational approach to understanding God. In the second part, Spinoza discusses the nature of political power and the role of the state in society. He argues that the state should be based on reason and that religious institutions should not have any influence over political decisions. The book was controversial when it was first published and was banned in many countries. However, it has since become a classic of Western philosophy and is still widely read and studied today.All these periods added together make a total of 580 years. But to these must be added the years during which the Hebrew republic flourished after the death of Joshua, until it was conquered by Cushan Rishathaim, which I take to be very numerous, for I cannot bring myself to believe that immediately after the death of Joshua all those who had witnessed his miracles died simultaneously, nor that their successors at one stroke bid farewell to their laws, and plunged from the highest virtue into the depth of wickedness and obstinacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
