Dismissed by one contemporary as a book &#8216;forged in hell by the Devil himself&#8217;, and suppressed soon after publication, the <em>Theologico-Political Treatise <\/em>had a tremendous influence from the Enlightenment, to German Idealism, to late-20th century Marxism. Today, a growing interest in Spinoza&#8217;s political theory is connected to a longing for a counter-narrative to the Western tradition of philosophy and political thought, for which Spinoza is becoming a major point of reference. This collection brings together expert and early career perspectives on Spinoza&#8217;s politics of freedom, democracy, critique of religion and authority, the imagination, equality and violence. While providing valuable contextual material on the <em>Theologico-Political Treatise<\/em> on its 350th anniversary, the collection brings Spinoza&#8217;s politics into debate with contemporary political theory.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u00e6rke, Morgens; Saar, Martin; Taylor, Dan (2025): &#8220;Roundtable on Democracy, Public Reasoning and the Education of the Imagination&#8221;.
