| German commentary | Bei der Bestimmung der Funktion der Religion in der Politik gibt es bei Spinoza "an interesting tension": Einerseits geht es ihm um die Förderung einer "universal religion", welche die Gemeinsamkeiten aller Religion betont. Auf der anderen Seite möchte Spinoza die Religionsfreiheit verteidigen. "In the TP, the final statement in Spinoza's philosophy, we see him struggling to follow both paths." (p. 143-144) |
| English commentary | In determing the role of religion in politics, we find in Spinoza "an interesting tension": On the one hand he tries to strengthen a "universal religion" stressing the common features of all religions. On the other hand, Spinoza wants to strenghten religious liberty. "In the TP, the final statement in Spinoza's philosophy, we see him struggling to follow both paths." (p. 143-144) |
