The Idea of Mind and Matter in Spinoza
Some people thought that he was god besotted, because he says that everythinghat the universe is one thing. He was expelled by his own jewish community in the netherlands for that view. And of course, christians thought him appalling too. Because here we had this idea that mind and matter are just two of an infinite number of different aspects they might have. What's really interesting though is that the essence of the idea in spinoza is picked up and modified form a much later thinking about these things.
