Spinoza Baruch Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese Jewish origin. He is considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy and, by virtue of his magnum opus Ethics, one of Western philosophy’s definitive ethicists. Albert Einstein named Spinoza as the philosopher who exerted the most influence on his world view (Weltanschauung).
