'Graeme Hunter [...] presents a stimulating, albeit controversial, alternative understanding of Spinoza. Hunter's book is engaging and his proposals and the scope of his study remarkably bold. His assertions challenge what is commonplace in current discussion... Hunter's work deserves serious consideration in future research on Spinoza's philosophy and the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus.' Ars Disputandi 'Hunter's book is bold, well-written, clear and a pleasure to read. It is important that such a radical thesis be brought into the daylight...' Journal of the History of Philosophy 'Hunter's book will provide much material for discussion on Spinoza's religious affinities and their consequences on his philosophy. His novel yet straightforward reading of Spinoza answers many puzzling questions, and it should help future readers of Spinoza better understand some of the consequences and issues at stake when comparing the Ethics with the TTP.' The Conral Grebel Review 'Although this work is directed primarily at Spinoza scholars, Hunter intends all but Chapter Seven to be accessible to undergraduates... Very well written, philosophically rich, and vigorously argued, this book merits attention from both of its intended audiences.' The Review of Metaphysics
