I suppose Spinoza did consider time illusory, related to the imagination!

am I the only one who finds it fascinating that we received this notification for a Spinoza conference that occurred YESTERDAY?  Well, either way, it sounds like it would have been nice, so, hey, thanks for letting us know.

FROM HERETIC TO HERO: A SYMPOSIUM ON THE IMPACT OF
BARUCH SPINOZA ON THE 350th ANNIVERSARY OF
HIS EXCOMMUNICATION
Sunday, October 29, 2006 


DATE: Sunday, October 29, 2006
 
TIME: 11am - 5pm
 
VENUE: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research at the Center for Jewish History 15 West 16th Street, NYC between Fifth and Sixth Avenues 
REGISTRATION: Call the Center for Jewish History Box-Office at 917-606-8200
Tickets: $10 Regular, $5 students and seniors
 
 
______________________________________________________________
 

The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is holding a one-day symposium dedicated to exploring the historical reasons, and current implications, of what many scholars consider the most notorious and ultimately influential excommunication in all of Jewish History: the banishment of Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza from the Jewish Community of Amsterdam in 1656.


As the Symposium's Keynote Speaker Professor Jonathan Israel of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study has shown in his seminal and encyclopedic study, Radical Enlightenment, it was Spinoza - not Hobbes or Descartes – who was the true father of the European Enlightenment, as his writings constituted the first comprehensive critique of organized religion and thorough vision of a truly democratic secular society whose primary purpose is the provision of human rights to its citizens and their protection from religious intolerance and totalitarian political rule.

Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Spinoza was rediscovered, and embraced as a role model, by Jewish thinkers who were championing the modernization of Judaism and the integration of Jews into the broader European society. Spinoza was claimed as a forerunner of virtually every modern Jewish ideology, from Marxism and labor socialism to Zionism and secular Yiddish culture.

The Symposium will present to the general public the history of Spinoza's unfortunate experiences with religious authorities, both Jewish and Christian and, despite his excommunication, the enduring popularity and influence of his writings today, three and a half centuries since he was banished. The speakers will provide valuable historical perspectives on the dangers of religious intolerance and the vitally important role that political philosophy plays in articulating and protecting human liberties and liberal social and political principles.
