In this short 16 minute video, the life and philosophy of Pantheism espoused by Spinoza is explored very well.
Baruch (Benedict) Spinoza as a 17th century philosopher whose ideas promoted a form of Pantheism founded on strict logic and dedication to Reason. His ideas were so revolutionary that centuries later, even Albert Einstein was inspired to say, “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.” Spinoza remains an inspiration for Pantheists who reject many common religious and philosophical traditions, and found their "faith" on being "faithful' to the only God that really exists: the glorious Universe itself, which is understood not by myth and stories but by scientific investigation, and celebrated in art, literature, music, and the way we treat the natural world and its creatures, if we would only treat it right.
