English commentary: "Spinoza analyzes religion and state along a particular-universal axis, and thus he addresses four social organizing mechanisms. These are: in the religious area, the particular religion is Judaism and the universal is his conceptialization of an ideal catholic faith; in the political area, the particular governing structure is theocracy and the universal is an idealized democracy." (p. 239)
