Summary
The Dutch Cartesians form part of the historical context that is crucial for understanding Spinoza’s philosophy (Bunge 2001; Verbeek 2003; James 2012; Douglas 2015b). The Dutch Republic, where Descartes spent the years 1628–49 and produced his greatest philosophical work, was naturally the first country to embrace his teaching, which entered the universities in a storm of controversy (Verbeek 1992, chap. 2 ; Bunge 2001, chap. 2; Douglas 2015b, §1.3; Schmaltz 2017, §1.3.1; Strazzoni 2018, chap. 2).
