Baruch Spinoza

Date of Birth:

24-Nov-1632

Nationality:

Andorra

Profession:

Spinoza was born in Amsterdam in 1632 to a Jewish immigrant family who had fled persecution in Portugal. He had been trained to study Talmudicism, but his ideas quickly took on illegal clues when the Jewish community - afraid to revive persecution for heresy - tried to discredit him. Spinoza was given 1000 florins to keep quiet about his ideas, but he refused. At the age of 24, he was court-martialed, and was dismissed. Spinoza refused all rewards and prestige, giving his sister his share of his father's estate - which he kept only in his bed. He earned his living as a soft-touch lens. He died in February 1677 his use, which may have grown from the dust of glass that had penetrated his workplace.

"I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused."
