Spinoza - The Man Who Killed God

Description

How Spinoza invented the modern world. Amsterdam, 1640. A man is excommunicated from the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam for questioning the Scriptures. The young Benoît de Espinosa witnesses the scene, and the episode plants a doubt in him. What if what the Bible recounts was false? The suspicion will launch Bento on the greatest intellectual quest there is. Who really wrote the sacred texts? What is the truth about God? What is nature? All these questions are forbidden, and the young Spinoza will soon pay the price. Rabbis and Christian preachers begin to persecute him and accuse him of heresy. Inspired by the prodigious life of the greatest Portuguese philosopher of all time, J.R. dos Santos tells us how Spinoza put an end to the age of darkness and invented the modern world. How he became “The Man Who Killed God”.
