21855 | Only in the 1780s did it become acceptable to read Spinoza [Lord] |
Full Idea: It was not until the 1780s that it became acceptable to read the works of Spinoza, and even then it was not without a frisson of danger. | |
From: Beth Lord (Spinoza's Ethics [2010], Intro 'Who?') | |
A reaction: Hence we hear of Wordsworth and Coleridge reading him with excitement. So did Kant read him? |
