Whether they are the nationalities of migrating refugees, the percentage of women in the workforce, or aging as a phenomenon (population decline, age of marriage, number of children, or the resources of youth), demographics can change the political dynamics of a country, creating in some cases increased freedoms but also potentially causing conflict or civil war.

Spinoza’s Theologico-Political Treatise Exploring ‘The Will of God’

Free Download Spinoza’s Theologico-Political Treatise: Exploring ‘The Will of God’ By Theo Verbeek
2003 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 0754604934 | PDF | 5 MB
This book presents the first accessible analysis of Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-politicus, situating the work in the context of Spinoza’s general philosophy and its 17th-century historical background. According to Spinoza it is impossible for a being to be infinitely perfect and to have a legislative will. This idea, demonstrated in the Ethics, is presupposed and further elaborated in the Tractatus Theologico-politicus. It implies not only that on the level of truth all revealed religion is false, but also that all authority is of human origin and that all obedience is rooted in a political structure. The consequences for authority as it is used in a religious context are explored: the authority of Scripture, the authority of particular interpretations of Scripture, and the authority of the Church. Verbeek also explores the work of two other philosophers of the period – Hobbes and Descartes – to highlight certain peculiarities of Spinoza’s position, and to show the contrasts between their theories.
