Sommario/riassunto

Explores an episode in early intellectual history: the expulsion of the great philosopher Spinoza from his Portuguese-Jewish community in Amsterdam. Why was Spinoza excommunicated? This work investigates this question and gives another perspective on Spinoza's thought and the Jewish religious and philosophical tradition from which it arose.
