Along with several other important thinkers, Baruch Spinoza laid the principles of the Enlightenment and of the contemporary ideas regarding the state and democracy. Without losing his spirituality, this 17th century Dutch philosopher of Sephardi/Portuguese origin expressed criticism in the way the Bible used to be interpreted by considering it should be analyzed as an important book of scientific knowledge instead of one of “truth by revelation”.
His work is also important for the adoption of a new human relationship of nature, as he believed that nature is everything. Nowadays, with regard to climate change and the questions posed by it, Spinoza’s quotes acquire a new meaning and can help to bring people and other living creatures closer together in nature.
