" "The attention that literary artists have lavished on Spinoza is remarkable. Writers have not only shaped their aesthetics by reflection on Spinoza, have not only inserted his views into the inner lives and dialogues of their characters, but have molded the man himself into a protagonist in their novels, poems, and plays. This last aspect of the literary fascination with Spinoza is particularly noteworthy. The person of Benedictus Spinoza has drawn, over the centuries, unusual attention, and not only from literary writers.

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.

Kiek blogybių atsiranda dėl prabangos, pavydo, godumo svaigalų ir kitų panašių dalykų? Vis dėlto jie yra priimtini, nes valstybė negali jų uždrausti įstatymais, kad ir kokie ydingi bebūtų; todėl privalu dar daugiau suteikti sprendimo laisvės, kuri apskritai yra tikra dorybė ir niekaip negali būti uždrausta įstatymais. Be to, iš jos nekyla tokių nepatogumų, kurių (kaip tuoj parodysiu) valstybės pareigūnai negalėtų išvengti; jau nekalbu, kad ji yra būtina mokslo ir menų tobulėjimui, nes jie gali būti sėkmingai vystomi tik tų, kurie turi laisvą ir nevaržomą sprendimą.
When I speak of Plato, Pascal, Spinoza and Goethe, I know that their blood flows in mine—I am proud, when I tell the truth about them—the family is good enough not to have to poeticize or to conceal; and thus I stand to everything that has been, I am proud of the humanity, and especially proud of unconditional truthfulness.
