From the infamous excommunication that fueled his rebel thought, to his magnum opus 'Ethics', we contemplate Spinoza's transformative theories that sought to unify the divine with the earthly and drove a philosophical revolution. We discuss his bold proclamatiom that the divine and the universe are one, a concept which shattered the theistic belief of a separate God and His creation, and stirred significant controversy during his time.
