What is Spinoza's Religion : A New Reading of the Ethics about?

**A bold re-evaluation of Spinoza that reveals his powerful, inclusive vision of religion for the modern age** 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 star
