The Idea of God in Spinoza's Philosophy

Author

Listed:
  • Emmanuel Jousse

Abstract

Why do we need religion? In our so-called agnostic era, is it possible to conceive an idea of God compatible with our modern requirements? These questions are becoming excruciating nowadaysshown especially by the spiritual dispair leading to sects.By defining a peculiar idea of God, Spinoza succeded in making the synthesis of numerous spiritual conceptions of his time. This idea is not a given solution to all the problems we meet in our everyday life, but can make us think about our relationship with the world and ourselves.
