Spinoza in 3 Hours

What if everything you've been taught about God, freedom, and morality is built on a misunderstanding? What if true liberation comes not from divine commands, but from understanding the laws of nature? What if one man-excommunicated, forgotten, and feared-discovered a system of thought so radical it still challenges science, religion, and politics today? Spinoza in 3 Hours is your fast, focused, and fearless guide into the world of Baruch Spinoza, the 17th-century heretic whose ideas shook the foundations of Western thought-and continue to do so. Inside this book, you'll explore:The true story of Spinoza's excommunication-and why he embraced it God ¿ a person: why Spinoza identified God with Nature and demolished centuries of theology Freedom through necessity: how determinism leads to the only real kind of freedom A geometry of ethics: how Spinoza tried to prove morality like a mathematician proves theorems Mind-Body unity: Spinoza's breakthrough that solves Descartes' dualism with startling clarity Emotion as physics: a new, non-moralistic psychology of human feelings Democracy, reason, and religious tolerance: political ideas centuries ahead of their time This book is for:Curious minds who want a crash course in one of philosophy's most challenging and rewarding thinkers Students, autodidacts, and skeptics tired of fluff and hungry for depth-without the jargon Readers of rationalism, Stoicism, and secular spirituality who seek clarity and coherence Anyone who believes that truth shouldn't need permission from tradition Don't read Spinoza to feel better.
