" "

La experiencia me enseñó que cuanto ocurre frecuentemente en la vida ordinaria es vano y fútil; veía que todo lo que para mí era causa u objeto de temor no contenía en sí nada bueno ni malo, fuera del efecto que excitaba en mi alma: resolví finalmente investigar si no habría algo que fuera un bien verdadero, posible de alcanzar y el único capaz de afectar el alma una vez rechazadas todas las demás cosas; un bien cuyo descubrimiento y posesión tuvieran por resultado una eternidad de goce continuo y soberano. Digo resolví finalmente, porque a primera vista parecía insensato renunciar a algo seguro por algo inseguro.

About Benedictus de Spinoza

Benedictus de Spinoza (24 November 1632 – 21 February 1677) was a social and metaphysical philosopher known for the elaborate development of his monist philosophy, which has become known as Spinozism. Controversy regarding his ideas led to his excommunication from the Jewish community of his native Amsterdam. He was named Baruch ("blessed" in Hebrew) Spinoza by his synagogue elders and known as Bento de Spinoza or Bento d'Espiñoza, but afterwards used the name Benedictus ("blessed" in Latin) de Spinoza.

Without a doubt, the Theologico-Politicus Theological-Political Treatise is one of the most important and influential books in the history of philosophy, in religious and political thought, and even in Bible studies. More than any other work, it laid the foundation for modern critical and historical approaches to the Bible. And while often overlooked in books on the history of political thought, the Treatise also has a proud and well-deserved place in the rise of democratic theory, civil liberties, and politcal liberalism.
