Boring. More of a history than a philosophy book. Just not compelling to me at this moment in time to read the intricacies of dead white men telling us about god and how to understand the world. Read about 80 pages. DNF
Overall a good primer on Spinoza, but it strikes me as an odd choice to not go into Spinoza's metaphysics and how the resulting pantheism confounds and distinguishes him from his early modern peers.
Put another way: Spinoza was delightfully weird and contextualizing that would go a long way towards making his his work further accessible and appreciated.

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

Suas reflexões, porém, influenciariam decisivamente revolucionários na Grã-Bretanha, nos Estados Unidos e na França, em luta por Estados seculares e tolerantes. Em Um livro forjado no inferno, o professor de filosofia Steven Nadler, biógrafo de Espinosa e um de seus principais especialistas, reconstitui o contexto histórico da publicação do Tratado e analisa cada uma das ideias que escandalizaram a Europa.
