    A Theologico-Political Treatise

    Written by Benedict Spinosa

    Narrated by George Easton

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Benedict Spinoza's 'A Theologico-Political Treatise' challenges prevailing religious and political dogmas of his time. With bold reasoning, Spinoza advocates for intellectual freedom, questioning the role of theology in governance. This seminal work lays the groundwork for secularism, advocating for a state where reason prevails over religious authority. A visionary treatise, it remains a cornerstone in discussions on freedom, politics, and the separation of church and state. Read in English, unabridged.
