English commentary: "Spinoza is the only Jewish philosopher who has been accepted into the canon of Western philosophy [...] The battle over Spinoza has ever since been a proxy battle about what Judaism is to be [...] Spinoza's conception of religion as a social practice whose true theology is its actions allows for a new way to theorize religions." (p. 29, 32, 34).
Cf. Novak, David
