Summary

The term ‘salvation’ (salus) is found at the crossroads of two traditions that Spinoza inherits: political discourse and religious discourse. He modifies both, but what is most interesting in the use he makes of them is undoubtedly his treatment of questions that are at the intersection of these two traditions: the status of the Hebrew people and the problem of the salvation of the ignorant.
