Spinoza (1632-77) was one of the towering philosophers of the seventeenth century, described by Bertrand Russell as "the noblest and most lovable of all the great philosophers". His work investigated some of the deepest questions of philosophy and whilst renowned for his metaphysics, he also made significant contributions to understanding the human mind, the emotions, moral philosophy, and political philosophy.
