Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said
What Baruch Spinoza actually said
- Baruch Spinoza Dutch philosopher (1632 to 1677)
Nations, then, are distinguished from one another in respect to the social organization and the laws under which they live and are governed; the Hebrew nation was not chosen by God in respect to its wisdom nor its tranquillity of mind, but in respect to its social organization and the good fortune with which it obtained supremacy and kept it so many years.
