In this week’s episode we take a deeper look at why the Rambam’s opinion about defining heresy should be considered the most definitive one. We also take a deeper look at the issue of Jewish identity and how it applies today. We also start to look at Spinoza’s first printed work, the Theological Political Treatise. Spinoza was aware of the danger of printing the treatise. Did he precautionary moves accomplish what he wanted to accomplish?
