   CATALOG 145: BARUCH de SPINOZA:
   A Selection of 30 Titles from the 17th-20th Century


   Spinoza: Life, Work, and Influences

    In the Jewish and National Library in Jerusalem, Spinoza's writings,
   unlike those of Jewish philosophers such as Philo of Alexandria or
   Maimonides, are not in the Judaica reading room, but in the general
   reading room, between the writings of Descartes and Leibniz. The
   decision of the library reflects a broad consensus in the way his work
   is perceived: Spinoza is not considered a Jewish thinker but one who
   belongs to the general history of philosophy.

   To be sure, Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) was excommunicated from
   Amsterdam's Jewish community for things he apparently said and did as a
   young man, and he went on to become the most radical and arguably the
   most interesting thinker of the early modern period. From the end of
   the 17th century onward his work played a central role in a variety of
   intellectual contexts: from the Enlightenment and German Idealism to
   the "higher criticism" of the Bible. Today Spinoza's ideas are debated
   not only in philosophical circles of both analytical and continental
   orientation, but also among scientists such as the neurologist Antonio
   Damasio, who claims that his research confirms how Spinoza conceived
   the relationship between body, mind, and behavior of human beings.
   And yet, Spinoza's relationship to Judaism, and in particular to Jewish
   philosophy, is complicated: it is marked by continuity and criticism
   that sometimes remain in unresolved tension. Much of his philosophical
   project is, in fact, best understood in light of the Jewish background.
   In Spinoza's thought ideas from many sources come together, ranging
   from Plato to the Kabbalah. But of particular importance are, on the
   one hand, various traditions of Jewish thought and, on the other, the
   writings of Descartes and Hobbes which were at the center of
   philosophical discussions in the Netherlands of Spinoza's time.

   Spinoza's father, Michael (died 1654), fled from Portugal to the
   relatively tolerant Dutch republic where, he became a member of
   Amsterdam's Sephardic community and a successful merchant. Spinoza
   studied Hebrew, the Bible, and rabbinic literature at the local talmud
   torah school. The community's most renowned scholars, Isaac Aboab,
   Menasseh ben Israel, and Saul Levi Morteira, were presumably among his
   teachers and influenced him directly or indirectly. Aboab translated
   Abraham Cohen Herrera's kabbalistic treatise Puerta del Cielo (The Gate
   of Heaven), with which Spinoza seems to have been familiar, from
   Spanish into Hebrew. Morteira, who inclined to a rationalist
   interpretation of religion, could have introduced him to medieval
   Jewish philosophy. Menasseh ben Israel edited in 1628 the Sefer Elim by
   the Galilei student Joseph Delmedigo, of which Spinoza had a copy, and
   that may have introduced him into post-Copernican cosmology.
   When his half-brother, Isaac, died in 1649, Spinoza's help was required
   in the family's importing business. Although an outstanding student, he
   could thus not complete the higher level of the educational curriculum
   which would have prepared him for a career as a rabbi. The process that
   led to Spinoza's alienation from traditional Judaism, culminating in
   his excommunication (=E1=B8=A5erem) in 1656, cannot be precisely recons=
tructed
   from the available sources. A significant role must presumably be
   assigned to heterodox Jewish thinkers in Amsterdam such as Uriel da
   Costa, who had been excommunicated twice a generation earlier and whose
   writings Spinoza certainly knew, and Juan de Prado, who was
   excommunicated at the same time as Spinoza. (Fraenkel in EJ, 2007)

we,
   1785. Clothbound. 12mo. 215 pages. 18 cm. First edition. In German,
   French, and Latin. Title translates as: "On the Doctrine of Spinoza in
   Letters to Mr. Moses Mendelssohn." Marbled decorative boards with title
   and date in gilt on spine. Moses Mendelssohn (6 September 1729=E2=80=93=
4
   January 1786) was a German Jewish philosopher to whose ideas the
   renaissance of European Jews, Haskalah (the Jewish Enlightenment) is
   indebted. Although himself a practising orthodox Jew, he has been
   referred to as the father of Reform Judaism. Born to a poor Jewish
   family in Dessau and originally destined for a rabbinical career,
   Mendelssohn educated himself in German thought and literature and from
   his writings on philosophy and religion came to be regarded as a
   leading cultural figure of his time by both Germans and Jews. Friedrich
   Heinrich Jacobi (25 January 1743=E2=80=9310 March 1819) was an influent=
ial
   German philosopher, literary figure, socialite and the younger brother
   of poet Johann Georg Jacobi. He is notable for coining the term
   nihilism and promoting it as the prime fault of Enlightenment thought
   particularly in the philosophical systems of Baruch Spinoza, Immanuel
   Kant, Johann Fichte and Friedrich Schelling. A conversation which
   Jacobi had held with Gotthold Lessing in 1780, in which Lessing avowed
   that he knew no philosophy in the true sense of that word, save
   Spinozism, led him to a protracted study of Spinoza's works. After
   Lessing's death, just a couple of months later, Jacobi continued to
   engage with Spinozism in an exchange of letters with Lessing's close
   friend Moses Mendelssohn, which began in 1783. Mendelssohn's final
   years were overshadowed and saddened by the so called pantheism
   controversy. Ever since his friend Lessing had died, he had wanted to
   write an essay or a book about his character. When Friedrich Heinrich
   Jacobi, an acquaintance of both men, heard of Mendelssohn's project, he
   stated that he had confidential information about Lessing being a
   "spinozist", which, in these years, was regarded as being more or less
   synonymous with "atheist" =E2=80=94 something which Lessing was accused=
 of
   being anyway by religious circles. This led to an exchange of letters
   between Jacobi and Mendelssohn which showed they had hardly any common
   ground. Mendelssohn then published his Morgenstunden oder Vorlesungen
   =C3=BCber das Dasein Gottes (Morning hours or lectures about God's
   existence), seemingly a series of lectures to his oldest son, his
   son-in-law and a young friend, usually held "in the morning hours", in
   which he explained his personal philosophical world-view, his own
   understanding of Spinoza and Lessing's "purified" ("gel=C3=A4utert")
   pantheism. But almost simultaneously with the publication of this book
   in 1785, Jacobi published extracts of his and Mendelssohn's letters as
   Briefe =C3=BCber die Lehre Spinozas (these letters, published with
   commentary by Jacobi in 1785 with an enlarged second edition from 1789,
   stated publicly that Lessing was a self confessed "pantheist" in the
   sense of "atheist"; essentially this volume constituted a controversy
   about Lessing's philosophic views, particularly with respect to
   Spinoza, including Jacobi's account of a conversation with Lessing in
   1780). Mendelssohn was thus drawn into a poisonous literary
   controversy, and found himself attacked from all sides, including
   former friends or acquaintances such as Johann Gottfried von Herder and
   Johann Georg Hamann. Mendelssohn wrote a reply addressed To Lessing's
   Friends (An die Freunde Lessings) and died on January 4, 1786 as the
   result of a cold contracted while carrying this manuscript to his
   publishers on New Year's Eve; Jacobi was held by some to have been
   responsible for his death. Subjects: Spinoza, Benedictus de, 1632-1677.

   The Tractatus Theologico-Politicus was published in 1670, =E2=80=9Cwith=
out the
   author's name, and it brought such a storm of opprobrium that it was
   formally proscribed by the Synod of Dort and by the States General of
   Holland, Zealand, and West Friesland. It was found necessary; in order
   to evade this censure, to publish the work under false titles,
   representing it sometimes as a medical, sometimes as a historical,
   work.=E2=80=9D (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) This is the first French tran=
slation
   of this very controversial book by Spinoza, in which he supports Jan de
   Witt=E2=80=99s principles of tolerance and free speech, and wherein he
   elaborates a social-contract theory of the state and argues that a
   democratic society must ensure the freedom and opportunity for
   happiness of the individual. The anti-theocratic flavor of his argument
   angered the Dutch clerics, but what truly outraged them, and made this
   book a dangerous possession, was the way that it demythologized the
   Holy Writ. It is for this reason that the work was =E2=80=98camouflaged=
=E2=80=99 with a

   =E2=80=9CSince Spinoza equates virtue and knowledge, culminating in the
   intellectual love of God, and since he takes the "uncorrupted" true
   core of Scripture to be the call "to love God above all and one's
   neighbor as oneself" (TTP 12), the fundamental convergence of the
   purpose of his philosophical, religious, and political project becomes
   apparent: to foster a community based on solidarity and on freedom of
   thought, whose members assist one another in attaining the best life,
   i. E., a life devoted to the love of God. =E2=80=9D (2007 Encyclopedia=

   years Harry Wolfson has devoted himself unreservedly, indeed
   heroically, to a bold and imaginative project entitled 'Structure and
   Growth of Philosophic Systems from Plato to Spinoza.' The fastidiously
   reasoned, intricately textured thesis underlying this grand project and
   unifying its many offshoots has been succinctly and lucidly described
   by Wolfson himself in the preface to Religious Philosophy: 'If we are
   to follow the conventional method of dividing philosophy into ancient,
   medieval, and modern, then medieval philosophy is to be defined as that
   system of thought which flourished between pagan Greek philosophy,
   which know not of Scripture, and that body of philosophic writings
   which ever since the seventeenth century has tried to free itself from
   the influence of Scripture. Medieval philosophy so defined was founded
   by Philo. He is the interpreter ofGreek philosophy in terms of certain
   fundamental teachings of his Hebrew Scripture, whereby he
   revolutionized philosophy and remade it into what became the common
   philosophy of the three religions with cognate Scriptures, Judaism,
   Christianity, and Islam. This triple scriptural religious philosophy,
   which was built up by Philo, reigned supreme as a homogeneous, if not a
   thoroughly unified, system of thought until the seventeenth century,
   when it was pulled down by Spinoza.'" (from vol.1, p. v-vi) -- As the
   twelfth volume of his Structure, Wolfson intended 'a definitive
   revision of Spinoza, with cross-references to all the previous books of
   the series' (Schwarz, Wolfson of Harvard, p. 224). Both Volumes Very

   activities as a merchant and communal leader can be traced as far back
   as 1367. As a delegate from the Catalonian Jewish community he
   negotiated with the king of Aragon for the renewal and extension of
   Jewish privileges in 1383. Throughout his life he sought to protect the
   rights of Spanish Jews and worked with various governments to this end.

<strong>Spinoza: Life, Work, and Influences</strong><br>
&nbsp;<br>
<br>
&nbsp;In the Jewish and National Library in Jerusalem, Spinoza&#39;s writi=
ngs, unlike those of Jewish philosophers such as Philo of Alexandria or Ma=
imonides, are not in the Judaica reading room, but in the general reading=
 room, between the writings of Descartes and Leibniz. The decision of the=
 library reflects a broad consensus in the way his work is perceived: Spin=
oza is not considered a Jewish thinker but one who belongs to the general=
 history of philosophy.<br>
<br>
To be sure, Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) was excommunicated from Amsterda=
m&#39;s Jewish community for things he apparently said and did as a young=
 man, and he went on to become the most radical and arguably the most inte=
resting thinker of the early modern period. From the end of the 17th centu=
ry onward his work played a central role in a variety of intellectual cont=
exts: from the Enlightenment and German Idealism to the &quot;higher criti=
cism&quot; of the Bible. Today Spinoza&#39;s ideas are debated not only in=
 philosophical circles of both analytical and continental orientation, but=
 also among scientists such as the neurologist Antonio Damasio, who claims=
 that his research confirms how Spinoza conceived the relationship between=
 body, mind, and behavior of human beings.<br>
<br>
And yet, Spinoza&#39;s relationship to Judaism, and in particular to Jewis=
h philosophy, is complicated: it is marked by continuity and criticism tha=
t sometimes remain in unresolved tension. Much of his philosophical projec=
t is, in fact, best understood in light of the Jewish background. In Spino=
za&#39;s thought ideas from many sources come together, ranging from Plato=
 to the Kabbalah. But of particular importance are, on the one hand, vario=
us traditions of Jewish thought and, on the other, the writings of Descart=
es and Hobbes which were at the center of philosophical discussions in the=
 Netherlands of Spinoza&#39;s time.<br>
<br>
Spinoza&#39;s father, Michael (died 1654), fled from Portugal to the relat=
ively tolerant Dutch republic where, he became a member of Amsterdam&#39;s=
 Sephardic community and a successful merchant. Spinoza studied Hebrew, th=
e Bible, and rabbinic literature at the local talmud torah school. The com=
munity&#39;s most renowned scholars, Isaac Aboab, Menasseh ben Israel, and=
 Saul Levi Morteira, were presumably among his teachers and influenced him=
 directly or indirectly. Aboab translated Abraham Cohen Herrera&#39;s kabb=
alistic treatise Puerta del Cielo (The Gate of Heaven), with which Spinoza=
 seems to have been familiar, from Spanish into Hebrew. Morteira, who incl=
ined to a rationalist interpretation of religion, could have introduced hi=
m to medieval Jewish philosophy. Menasseh ben Israel edited in 1628 the Se=
fer Elim by the Galilei student Joseph Delmedigo, of which Spinoza had a c=
opy, and that may have introduced him into post-Copernican cosmology.<br>
<br>
When his half-brother, Isaac, died in 1649, Spinoza&#39;s help was require=
d in the family&#39;s importing business. Although an outstanding student,=
 he could thus not complete the higher level of the educational curriculum=
 which would have prepared him for a career as a rabbi. The process that l=
ed to Spinoza&#39;s alienation from traditional Judaism, culminating in hi=
s excommunication (=E1=B8=A5erem) in 1656, cannot be precisely reconstruct=
ed from the available sources. A significant role must presumably be assig=
ned to heterodox Jewish thinkers in Amsterdam such as Uriel da Costa, who=
 had been excommunicated twice a generation earlier and whose writings Spi=
noza certainly knew, and Juan de Prado, who was excommunicated at the same=
 time as Spinoza. (Fraenkel in EJ, 2007)<br>

 DIE LEHRE DES SPINOZA IN BRIEFEN AN DEN HERRN MOSES MENDELSSOHN. Breslau,=
 L&ouml;we, 1785. Clothbound. 12mo. 215 pages. 18 cm.<em><strong> First ed=
ition.</strong></em> In German, French, and Latin. Title translates as: &q=
uot;On the Doctrine of Spinoza in Letters to Mr. Moses Mendelssohn.&quot;=
 Marbled decorative boards with title and date in gilt on spine. Moses Men=
delssohn (6 September 1729&ndash;4 January 1786) was a German Jewish philo=
sopher to whose ideas the renaissance of European Jews, Haskalah (the Jewi=
sh Enlightenment) is indebted. Although himself a practising orthodox Jew,=
 he has been referred to as the father of Reform Judaism. Born to a poor J=
ewish family in Dessau and originally destined for a rabbinical career, Me=
ndelssohn educated himself in German thought and literature and from his w=
ritings on philosophy and religion came to be regarded as a leading cultur=
al figure of his time by both Germans and Jews. Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi=
 (25 January 1743&ndash;10 March 1819) was an influential German philosoph=
er, literary figure, socialite and the younger brother of poet Johann Geor=
g Jacobi. He is notable for coining the term nihilism and promoting it as=
 the prime fault of Enlightenment thought particularly in the philosophica=
l systems of Baruch Spinoza, Immanuel Kant, Johann Fichte and Friedrich Sc=
helling. A conversation which Jacobi had held with Gotthold Lessing in 178=
0, in which Lessing avowed that he knew no philosophy in the true sense of=
 that word, save Spinozism, led him to a protracted study of Spinoza&#39;s=
 works. After Lessing&#39;s death, just a couple of months later, Jacobi c=
ontinued to engage with Spinozism in an exchange of letters with Lessing&#=
39;s close friend Moses Mendelssohn, which began in 1783. Mendelssohn&#39;=
s final years were overshadowed and saddened by the so called pantheism co=
ntroversy. Ever since his friend Lessing had died, he had wanted to write=
 an essay or a book about his character. When Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi, a=
n acquaintance of both men, heard of Mendelssohn&#39;s project, he stated=
 that he had confidential information about Lessing being a &quot;spinozis=
t&quot;, which, in these years, was regarded as being more or less synonym=
ous with &quot;atheist&quot; &mdash; something which Lessing was accused o=
f being anyway by religious circles. This led to an exchange of letters be=
tween Jacobi and Mendelssohn which showed they had hardly any common groun=
d. Mendelssohn then published his Morgenstunden oder Vorlesungen &uuml;ber=
 das Dasein Gottes (Morning hours or lectures about God&#39;s existence),=
 seemingly a series of lectures to his oldest son, his son-in-law and a yo=
ung friend, usually held &quot;in the morning hours&quot;, in which he exp=
lained his personal philosophical world-view, his own understanding of Spi=
noza and Lessing&#39;s &quot;purified&quot; (&quot;gel&auml;utert&quot;) p=
antheism. But almost simultaneously with the publication of this book in 1=
785, Jacobi published extracts of his and Mendelssohn&#39;s letters as Bri=
efe &uuml;ber die Lehre Spinozas (these letters, published with commentary=
 by Jacobi in 1785 with an enlarged second edition from 1789, stated publi=
cly that Lessing was a self confessed &quot;pantheist&quot; in the sense o=
f &quot;atheist&quot;; essentially this volume constituted a controversy a=
bout Lessing&#39;s philosophic views, particularly with respect to Spinoza=
, including Jacobi&#39;s account of a conversation with Lessing in 1780).=
 Mendelssohn was thus drawn into a poisonous literary controversy, and fou=
nd himself attacked from all sides, including former friends or acquaintan=
ces such as Johann Gottfried von Herder and Johann Georg Hamann. Mendelsso=
hn wrote a reply addressed To Lessing&#39;s Friends (An die Freunde Lessin=
gs) and died on January 4, 1786 as the result of a cold contracted while c=
arrying this manuscript to his publishers on New Year&#39;s Eve; Jacobi wa=
s held by some to have been responsible for his death. Subjects: Spinoza,=

 de Saint Glain or to Jean Le Clerc, of the &ldquo;Tractatus Theologico-Po=

#39;intelligence de ce livre&quot; (the last 30 pages) are the translation=
 of the greatest part of the Annotationes ad Tractatum theologico-politicu=
m by Spinoza himself. The Tractatus Theologico-Politicus was published in=
 1670, &ldquo;without the author&#39;s name, and it brought such a storm o=
f opprobrium that it was formally proscribed by the Synod of Dort and by t=
he States General of Holland, Zealand, and West Friesland. It was found ne=
cessary; in order to evade this censure, to publish the work under false t=
itles, representing it sometimes as a medical, sometimes as a historical,=
 work.&rdquo; (1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) This is the first French translat=
ion of this very controversial book by Spinoza, in which he supports Jan d=
e Witt&rsquo;s principles of tolerance and free speech, and wherein he ela=
borates a social-contract theory of the state and argues that a democratic=
 society must ensure the freedom and opportunity for happiness of the indi=
vidual. The anti-theocratic flavor of his argument angered the Dutch cleri=
cs, but what truly outraged them, and made this book a dangerous possessio=
n, was the way that it demythologized the Holy Writ. It is for this reason=
 that the work was &lsquo;camouflaged&rsquo; with a misleading title-page.=

LETE IN 2 VOLUMES.. Cambridge, MA: Harvard Univ. Press 1973-1977. Cloth, 8=
vo, xvii, [1], 626 + xiv, [1], 639 p.; 22.5 cm. Gathers together 27 and=
 28 essays by Wolfson in English as well as 2 in Hebrew. &quot;For almost=
 forty years Harry Wolfson has devoted himself unreservedly, indeed heroic=
ally, to a bold and imaginative project entitled &#39;Structure and Growth=
 of Philosophic Systems from Plato to Spinoza.&#39; The fastidiously reaso=
ned, intricately textured thesis underlying this grand project and unifyin=
g its many offshoots has been succinctly and lucidly described by Wolfson=
 himself in the preface to Religious Philosophy: &#39;If we are to follow=
 the conventional method of dividing philosophy into ancient, medieval, an=
d modern, then medieval philosophy is to be defined as that system of thou=
ght which flourished between pagan Greek philosophy, which know not of Scr=
ipture, and that body of philosophic writings which ever since the sevente=
enth century has tried to free itself from the influence of Scripture. Med=
ieval philosophy so defined was founded by Philo. He is the interpreter of=
Greek philosophy in terms of certain fundamental teachings of his Hebrew S=
cripture, whereby he revolutionized philosophy and remade it into what bec=
ame the common philosophy of the three religions with cognate Scriptures,=
 Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This triple scriptural religious philos=
ophy, which was built up by Philo, reigned supreme as a homogeneous, if no=
t a thoroughly unified, system of thought until the seventeenth century, w=
hen it was pulled down by Spinoza.&#39;&quot; (from vol.1, p. v-vi) -- As=
 the twelfth volume of his Structure, Wolfson intended &#39;a definitive r=
evision of Spinoza, with cross-references to all the previous books of the=
 series&#39; (Schwarz, Wolfson of Harvard, p. 224). Both Volumes Very Good=
