O Tratado teológico-político, que Baruch de Espinosa publicou em 1670, chegou a ser considerado por seus contemporâneos o livro mais perigoso até então escrito. Em uma das contestações iniciais à obra, o teólogo alemão Jakob Thomasius chamou-a de "documento ímpio" e recomendou que fosse proscrita em todos os países. Leitor de primeira hora do Tratado, Thomas Hob­bes considerou que ele mesmo não se atrevera a escrever com tanta ousadia.

Censurado nos Países Baixos pouco após a sua publicação e incluído, em 1679, no Índice de Livros Proibidos da Igreja Católica, o Tratado entrou para o rol da literatura clandestina. Suas reflexões, porém, influenciariam decisivamente revolucionários na Grã-Bretanha, nos Estados Unidos e na França, em luta por Estados seculares e tolerantes.

Overall a good primer on Spinoza, but it strikes me as an odd choice to not go into Spinoza's metaphysics and how the resulting pantheism confounds and distinguishes him from his early modern peers.
Put another way: Spinoza was delightfully weird and contextualizing that would go a long way towards making his his work further accessible and appreciated.
