Learning on ScreenSpinoza: The Apostle of Reason
- Synopsis
- Drama based on the life and thought of Spinoza, who was born in 16th-century Amsterdam to a family of Jewish refugees from Portugal. He lived in an age of turmoil, when the Dutch Republic and the English Commonwealth had polarised the entire continent. His scepticism enraged the Jewish elders and led to his excommunication. His hatred of irrationality once again seems relevant in a world torn apart by religious and nationalist dissension. With Henry Goodman as Spinoza.
