Theological-Political Treatise stands as Baruch Spinoza's most crucial work from a political perspective. For the academic year 2024/2025, this monumental text has been included in the French higher education curriculum, with a special focus on its preface and chapters XVI to XX. These sections, brimming with Spinoza's profound insights on the intersections of religion, politics, and freedom, will be published as a distinct edition by GF-Flammarion.

For this edition, renowned philosopher Maxime Rovere has crafted a deeply insightful introduction, both historical and philosophical in nature. His comprehensive analysis, combined with a meticulously curated selection of complementary texts, aims to illuminate the radical originality of Spinoza’s thought and its relevance to contemporary debates. Rovere's critical apparatus offers students a clearer understanding of Spinoza’s intricate ideas, enabling them to engage with the text in a more informed and meaningful way.
