Quem Matou Espinosa?
Description:
Baruch Espinosa, the Dutch philosopher of Portuguese origin, died at the age of 44, in 1677, leaving behind a revolutionary philosophical work - but also some enigmas, some enemies and many questions. What if his death had not been caused by his fragile health - but had been murdered? Who is the person who visited him on the day he died? What unpublished letters and manuscripts have disappeared from his desk? Who benefits from a crime of this nature? Catholics, Protestants, Jews, philosophical opponents, French, Dutch, all are suspects. Many are suspicious of Spinoza, too free, unclassifiable, too courageous. His philosophy is as disturbing as it is fascinating, at a time when religious wars are tearing Europe apart. From the top of the state to the small presbytery, including the Synagogue and less combative circles of thought, everyone conspires, in secret, to silence this genius that shakes the philosophy of his time. In this philosophical and historical thriller, Jean-François Bensahel reconstructs the work and life of Spinoza - and leaves the door open to solving this great mystery: who killed Spinoza?
