Description

In Between Philosophy and Religion Volumes I and II, Brayton Polka examines Spinoza's three major works-on religion, politics, and ethics-in order to show that his thought is at once biblical and modern. Indeed, Polka argues that Spinoza is biblical only insofar as he is understood to be one of the great philosophers of modernity and that he is modern only when it is understood that he is unique in making the interpretation of the Bible central to philosophy and philosophy central to the interpretation of the Bible. This book and its companion volume are essential reading for any scholar of Spinoza. Review Polka offers a striking challenge to received readings of Spinoza by privileging neither reason nor revelation. Combining hermeneutics and ontology in reciprocal presupposition, he offers a highly original challenge to dominant views of faith and reason in modernity. This Hegelian reading of Spinoza demands careful consideration from philosophers of religion and Spinoza scholars alike. This is a genuinely extraordinary book.--Philip Goodchild, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Nottingham This is a major study of Spinoza, which masterfully commands the details of the philosopher's most important texts with sensitivity and ease. It is also a major work of philosophy in its own right, a history of modernity and its key ideas from the standpoint of the separation between (and relationship of) philosophy and religion. Polka's lucid, rigorous analyses open Spinoza's dense texts to a wide range of readers, specialists and non-specialists alike, while situating the ideas in a genealogy of modernity which fundamentally recasts standard conceptions of the modern, the biblical, the ancient, the rational, and the religious. The book's claims are tough, strong, shocking, unnerving, and risky in the best possible sense. An immense achievement.--Nancy K. Levene, Author of Spinoza's Revelation: Religion, Democracy, and Reason About the Author Brayton Polka is professor emeritus of humanities and social & political thought at York University.
