Spinoza: Clarifications and Criticisms on Freedom

Baruch de Spinoza later became known as Benedicus de Spinoza, a 17th century philosopher and he was very hostile as he gave up religious beliefs to God. This does not mean that Spinoza denied the existence of God, Spinoza believed that he believed in God, but in another, more natural sense. Spinoza was criticized for being accused of his belief in religious person's mind. His idea was revolutionary as opposed to the traditional Jewish religion, so he was expelled from the church by the Jewish community.

Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) Spinoza is a Jewish Dutch philosopher. He is a powerful rationalist who sees potential unity of the universe. He advocated the view that it is critical of religious scriptures, that there is sanctity among them, and despite apparent contradiction, the universe is still commanded. His philosophy influenced later philosophers, writers and romantic poets such as Shelly and Coleridge. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) Emmanuel Kant is an influential German philosopher, whose "pure rational critique" ties the reasons and experiences into philosophical thought. Discussions between rationalists and empiricists have left. Kant's philosophy affects future German idealists and philosophers such as Shelling and Schopenhauer.
