This book explores why Spinoza's ideas, closely aligned with modern natural science, are overlooked in social sciences. It attributes this to the Cartesian split between science and thought. The author argues that Spinoza's rejection of mind/body dualism is crucial, especially against the backdrop of cultural relativism threatening science and political stability.
