Spinoza's Theologico: Political Treatise (The Focus Philosophical Library)

A new and complete translation in English of this modern text, with substantive apparatus to allow the student and serious reader to grapple in a meaningful way with this seminal text, which Dr. Yaffe describes in his Translator’s Remarks: "the philosophical founding-document of both modern biblical criticism and modern liberal democracy...." As such, "it is also the philosophical founding-document of modern liberal religion."

Tools in the text for the serious reader include the translation, ample footnotes, Spinoza’s annotations, an interpretative essay, glossary and other indices.
