Benedict de Spinoza, or Baruch d'Espinoza, lived (1632-1677) in [[Amsterdam]]. He developed an unusual philosophy, later known as Spinozism, which caused his excommunication from the Jewish synagogue.

Spinozism is the belief that all existence consists of only one substance, such as [[God]] or nature. Under this view, everything from mind to matter is merely a manifestation of the one true reality. Evil has only a fleeting existence in the mind or heart, and is extinguished in due course by the divine Whole.

Spinozism was the first of three [[pantheism]]s rejected and condemned by the [[First Vatican Council]]. Spinozism is considered to be one of the most complete expressions of monistic idealism.
