“Mack presents a convincing case for an historical continuation of Spinoza’s influence in the thought of Johan Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Weimar Classicism in general, George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda, and the ‘new science’ of Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic cure. That said, this is no detached scholarly tracing of thematic continuities, but rather a passionate advocacy on behalf of Spinoza’s non-hierarchic, non-teleological view of reality.” - The Heythrop Journal
