Who Baruch Spinoza was
He was expelled from the Amsterdam Jewish community at twenty-three under an unusually harsh writ of excommunication, and spent the rest of his life grinding optical lenses, a trade that probably caused the lung disease that killed him.
The "Ethics" is written as a treatise in geometry, with definitions and theorems, and holds that God and nature are the same thing. He refused a chair at Heidelberg rather than compromise his freedom of thought.
