“As long as the human Mind perceives things from the common order of nature, it does not have an adequate, but only a confused and mutilated knowledge of itself, of its own Body, and of external bodies” (IIp29c). His political writings, particularly Theological-Political Treatise (published in 1670), argued for religious tolerance, freedom of speech, and democratic governance.
The same preachers who take advantage of our credulity will fulminate against anyone who tries to pull aside the curtain and reveal the truths of Nature. His choice of a simple trade reflected his belief in living a life of reason and moderation, in harmony with his philosophical principles.

First, there is the active, productive aspect of the universe—God and his attributes, from which all else follows. In those works, Spinoza denies the immortality of the soul; strongly rejects the notion of a transcendent, providential God—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and claims that the Law (i.e., the commandments of the Torah and rabbinic legal principles) was neither literally given by God nor any longer binding on Jews.
The order of things just follows from God’s essences with an inviolable determinism. What we now possess, then, is nothing but a compilation, and a rather mismanaged, haphazard and “mutilated” one at that.
