Baruch Spinoza (b.1632) | Baruch Spinoza. A philosopher who dared to challenge the societal conventions of his era and etched an indelible mark on the realm of independent thinking. Beginning in 17th century Amsterdam, we find a ;one story full of courage and audacity; a solitary thinker with groundbreaking concepts. 

From the infamous excommunication that fueled his rebel thought, to his magnum opus 'Ethics', we contemplate Spinoza's transformative theories that sought to unify the divine with the earthly and drove a philosophical revolution. We discuss his bold proclamatiom that the divine and the universe are one, a concept which shattered the theistic belief of a separate God and His creation, and stirred significant controversy during his time. 

Daring, intriguing, and profoundly insightful - this episode is not just a chronicle of a great philosopher, but an exploration into the legacy of thought Spinoza passed onto the world. Listen now.
