Spinoza's Religion: A New Reading of the Ethics by Clare Carlisle (English) Hard

Description: Spinoza's Religion by Clare Carlisle Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Spinoza is widely regarded as either a God-forsaking atheist or a God-intoxicated pantheist, but Clare Carlisle says that he was neither. In Spinozas Religion, she sets out a bold interpretation of Spinoza through a lucid new reading of his masterpiece, the Ethics. Putting the question of religion centre-stage but refusing to convert Spinozism to Christianity, Carlisle reveals that "being in God" unites Spinozas metaphysics and ethics. Spinozas Religion unfolds a powerful, inclusive philosophical vision for the modern age - one that is grounded in a profound questioning of how to live a joyful, fully human life.Like Spinoza himself, the Ethics doesnt fit into any ready-made religious category. But Carlisle shows how it wrestles with the question of religion in strikingly original ways, responding both critically and constructively to the diverse, broadly Christian context in which Spinoza lived and worked. Philosophy itself, as Spinoza practiced it, became a spiritual endeavour that expressed his devotion to a truthful, virtuous way of life.Offering startling new insights into Spinozas famously enigmatic ideas about eternal life and the intellectual love of God, Carlisle uncovers a Spinozist religion that integrates self-knowledge, desire, practice, and embodied ethical life to reach toward our highest happiness - to rest in God. Seen through Carlisles eyes, the Ethics prompts us to rethink not only Spinoza but also religion itself.Carlisles book is a finely written and thoughtful introduction to Spinozas philosophy for anyone who is curious as to why this thinker, dead for almost 350 years, remains vitally relevant today Steven Nadler, Literary Review[Carlisle] admirably establishes that Spinozas philosophy can be interpreted as a distinctive and original form of rational religion. Carlos Fraenkel, Times Literary SupplementCarlisle has done us a great service by offering a convincing and newly rounded portrayal-and by reminding us that you can never exhaust the majesty of Spnozas religious writing.
