  Between Philosophy And Religion 2

  $147.00

  Consciousness, Desire, And The Duality Of Existence
  Between Politics And Ethics: The Relationship Between Democratic Freedom And Eternal Freedom
  Conclusion: Modernity In Light Of Spinoza

  Additional Info
  In Between Philosophy and Religion Volumes I and II, Brayton Polka examines Spinoza’s three major works-on religion, politics, and ethics-in order to show that his thought is at once biblical and modern. Indeed, Polka argues that Spinoza is biblical only insofar as he is understood to be one of the great philosophers of modernity and that he is modern only when it is understood that he is unique in making the interpretation of the Bible central to philosophy and philosophy central to the interpretation of the Bible. This book and its companion volume are essential reading for any scholar of Spinoza.
