English commentary: "Spinoza assesses the Copernican revolution and advocates a rationalist and materialistic naturalism against the onto-theological tradition, Aristotle and Descartes as the two main figures thereof, theologians and the Bible not to mention. Spinoza interprets the error of geocentrism as indicating two other errors: classical anthropological dualism which subjugated the body to the soul and the illusion of free-will. By gnoseological, psychophysical and socio-emotional rehabilitation of the body, he claims to lead man to present salvation, not eschatological, reconciling him with himself and with God as Nature. The permanence of Hebraic anthropological sensibility is pregnant, which does not cancel metaphysical,soteriological and ethical disparities between him and the Bible. These disparities could bring Spinoza closer to Aristotle than to Descartes. Will the spinozian project keep its promises without relapsing into the traps of the mythical and the mystical?"(Resumé)URL: http://https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01982798/file/Brown_Julius_2015_ED270.pdf
