DVD-Tonträger Christopher Spencers 'Spinoza: The Apostle of Reason' (1994), Drehbuch Tariq Ali, ist der zweite Film der Serie 'In Defense of Philosophy'. Er zeigt Baruch Spinozas Leben und Denken wider die Unruhen im Europa des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts. Als ein Mensch der Moderne forderte er sowohl die religiöse als auch die politische Orthodoxie heraus und brachte die Traditionalisten seiner Zeit gegen sich auf. Spinozas beeindruckendes geistiges Vermächtnis hat so unterschiedliche Denker beeinflußt wie z.B. Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gilles Deleuze, Albert Einstein und John Berger. S.a.: Ali, Tariq (2011) |
