https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx "Not to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand" - Benedict de Spinoza, TTP I, 4 en-us 2020-11-22 17:12:10 UTC 2020-12-01 07:06:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4be.png bodnaruk_mariana https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/968902114 Spinoza was not only one of the founders of modern political philosophy, but also of the criticism of the Bible. He paid particular attention to the idea of interpretation; he stated that all organized religion was simply the institutionalized defense of particular interpretations. He rejected in its entirety the idea of revelation, i.e the view that Moses composed the first five books of the Bible. Instead he provided an analysis of the structure of the Bible which demonstrated that it was essentially a compiled text with many different authors and diverse origins and not "revealed" all at once. In his agrument against Maimonides, does Spinoza favor a literal or metaphorical interpretation of the Bible?]]> 2020-11-29 16:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/968902114 jennaabuhasna2 https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/974522815 Maimonides and Spinoza agree that a true understanding of Scripture could be achieved by the correct method of biblical interpretation . Despite each author's methodical interpretation of Scripture , however, they arrive at significantly different understandings of  Scripture’s relationship to philosophy. For Spinoza Scripture conveys little more than ethical teachings.Maimonides main argument concerning biblical texts revolves around reason. Some parts of biblical texts, if read literally might not go along with what is absolutely true, and cannot be accepted by reason.

Unlike Maimonides, Spinoza finds that the meaning can be found through "reason and example." More specifically, he believes that everyone can understand the Bible as they please, furthermore, no "supernatural light nor any external authority" is needed. The meaning of the text can be deduced from the scripture itself and that no other source is needed. Spinoza concludes the chapter by claiming that man has a supreme right to interpret religion for themselves.]]> 2020-12-01 06:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/974536582 sabreenhajahja https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/974536633 Maimonides argued that you cant intrerpret the Bible from the book itself while spinoza do think that we should interpret the Bible from the book itself. so, spinozaa is with literal interpretation.  and spinoza think that we cant interpret the Bible acoording to our own Understanding ]]> 2020-12-01 06:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/974536633 nataliahandal1_1 https://padlet.com/bodnaruk_mariana/ce7sdkckbyqdx9dx/wish/974539657  Spinoza clearly prefers a literal interpretation of the scriptures.
