  • Spinoza on Philosophy, Religion, and Politics. The Theologico-Political Treatise. Oxford University Press, 2014. 360p. Paperback. Susan James's book on Spinozaas Theological-Political Treatise is a magnificent work of historical and contextually focused philosophical scholarship. Anyone interested in Spinoza, the Dutch Republic, or early modern philosophy would profit by reading it. James richly situates Spinozaas Treatise in its proper context and thereby illuminates Spinozaas thought in a profound way. The Spinoza that emerges here is not the abstract metaphysician of the Ethics, but a savvy political thinker addressing the particulars of his time and place. In all, this book should fundamentally alter the way we think of this great text and, more broadly, the issues it addresses.
