[[Baruch Spinoza|Benedictus de Spinoza]] (November 24, 1632 – February 21, 1677) was a [[Jewish]]-Dutch [[philosopher]].
He is considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century [[philosophy]] and, by virtue of his magnum opus the [[Ethics]], one of the definitive [[ethic]]ists.
While at [[school]] he developed a lifelong [[passion]] for philosophy and in [[particular]] the [[work]] of Baruch Spinoza (1632-77), which was overridingly concerned with the [[idea]] of God's [[existence]]. Spinoza was Jewish but was excommunicated as a heretic as a result of his work, and Christians also denounced him as an [[atheist]]. At school [[Lacan]] hung a diagram of the 'atheist' Spinoza's posthumously published Ethics on his bedroom wall - a clearly subversive act in light of his middleclass [[Catholic]] upbringing and a move often [[interpreted]] as an early indication of his attitude towards institutions and [[authority]].
