BARUCH SPINOZA – GOD OF SPINOZA

  Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677) was a Jewish philosopher in Holland during a period of uniquely broad public toleration of varying religious views. In his view, “God is everywhere, and everything that exists is a modification of God. God is known by human beings through only two of his attributes—thought and extension (the quality of having spatial dimensions)—though the number of God’s attributes is infinite.”
