English commentary: "... we see that both Hobbes and Spinoza can be read as subversive; Hobbes by dint of his more radical method of reading and interpretation (one that is not tempered by an idea of reason as an independent source of real knowledge) and Spinoza by dint of the careful way he extrapolates the fracturing and diffusion of sovereign authority in the Hebrew Republic/Kingdom of God." (p. 94)
