A proposito di questo titolo

Written by the influential Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus stands as one of the most provocative texts of the early modern era. This treatise serves as a preemptive defense of his later work, Ethics, which was published posthumously in 1677 and anticipated intense scrutiny. In this foundational work, Spinoza delivers his most thorough critique of Judaism and organized religion as a whole. He asserts that theology and philosophy must be distinctly separated, especially when interpreting sacred texts. While theology seeks obedience, philosophy is driven by the pursuit of rational truth. According to Spinoza, scripture cannot be molded to fit philosophical reasoning without distorting its meaning. Conversely, if reason is subjugated to scripture, one risks allowing the outdated prejudices of the past to cloud their understanding. He challenges the notions of prophecy, miracles, and supernatural events, positing that God operates solely according to the laws of his own nature. Spinoza contends that those who perceive a divine purpose guiding events are merely constructing a comforting illusion to quell their fears. (Summary from Wikipedia)
