El Tratado teológico-político de Spinoza y su trasfondo Judeo-Árabe / Spinoza's Tractatus theologico-politicus and His Judeo-Arabic Background

Abstract

This study analyses Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico politicus from the point of view of the confrontation between revealed Scripture and philosophy, and links it with the history of this confrontation in Maimonides and the Arab philosophers, highlighting similarities and differences. The three key points of the analysis are the following: (1) Salvation through philosophy; (2) Salvation through religion; and (3) the guarantor of Salvation: political power.
