Philosophy: Spinoza identified God with Nature ("Deus sive Natura")…

Question

Did you know? Spinoza identified God with Nature ("Deus sive Natura") in his "Ethics" (1677). For him there was a single substance with infinite attributes. It got him expelled from the Jewish community as early as 1656 — and only in 2014 did he get a (rejected) request for posthumous reinstatement in Israel.

Spinoza identificeerde God met de Natuur ("Deus sive Natura") in zijn "Ethica" (1677). Voor hem was er één enkele substantie, met oneindige eigenschappen. Het maakte hem in 1656 al uitgestoten uit de Joodse gemeenschap — en pas in 2014 kreeg hij in Israël een (afgekeurde) eerherstel-aanvraag.
