Summary:
"
Spinoza
is widely regarded as either a God-forsaking atheist or a God-intoxicated pantheist, but Clare Carlisle says that he was neither. In
Spinoza
's
Religion
, she sets out a bold interpretation of
Spinoza
through a lucid
new
reading
of his masterpiece, the
Ethics
. Putting the question of
religion
centre-stage but refusing to convert Spinozism to Christianity, Carlisle reveals that "being in God" unites
Spinoza
's metaphysics and
ethics
.
Spinoza
's
Religion
unfolds a powerful, inclusive philosophical vision for the modern age--one that is grounded in a profound questioning of how to live a joyful, fully human life. Like
Spinoza
himself, the
Ethics
doesn't fit into any ready-made religious category. But Carlisle shows how it wrestles with the question of
religion
in strikingly original ways, responding both critically and constructively to the diverse, broadly Christian context in which
Spinoza
lived and worked. Philosophy itself, as
Spinoza
practiced it, became a spiritual endeavor that expressed his devotion to a truthful, virtuous way of life. Offering startling
new
insights into
Spinoza
's famously enigmatic ideas about eternal life and the intellectual love of God, Carlisle uncovers a Spinozist
religion
that integrates self-knowledge, desire, practice, and embodied ethical life to reach toward our 'highest happiness'--to rest in God. Seen through Carlisle's eyes, the
Ethics
prompts us to rethink not only
Spinoza
but also
religion
itself."--From publisher.
