Review title: Short Intro? No, long criticism!
Product review: This essay is more about Roger Scruton's ideas about Spinoza's philosophy that about Spinoza's philosophy itself. He spends too much of this short book on criticism of Spinoza's geometric method of presentation and hardly any on his vision.Typically he says on the last page of the book that "it is no accident that Spinoza should have called forth so sharp an attack from the other false prophet of atheism, Nietzsche," and concludes with a quote from Nietzsche.If Scruton considers Spinoza a "false prophet of atheism" he has self-confessed an ignorance of Spinoza's work.
