Was Spinoza the first proto-libertarian?

Why do you suck Sam Harris' objective moralist cock when you he admits the following:

SAM, HARRIS – How Science Can Determine Human Values, page 56:” […] The neuroscience of morality and social emotions is only just beginning, but there seems no question that it will one day deliver morally relevant insights regarding the material causes of our happiness and suffering. While there may be some surprises in store for us down this path, there is every reason to expect that kindness, compassion, fairness, and other classically “good” traits will be vindicated neuroscientifically—which is to say that we will only discover further reasons to believe that they are good for us, in that they generally enhance our lives.[…]”

>Muuuuh we will one day find out
>Muuuh I don't have any conclusive results to back thesis
>Muuuuh neuroscience will overpower philosophy

If you're going to suck cock at least suck the portuguese jew's cock aka BENTO ESPINOZA

Cool story bro

>they painted him to look white!

Give me a break.

How the fuck do I start learning about Philosophy /lit/? Like where do you even start.

I'd really like to read Epicurus and Spinoza because they seem like supreme chillers, but I'm afraid I won't understand them

What religion would Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates each follow if they were around today?

What's with the Spinoza obsession here? Will he actually change how I feel about God and spirituality, or is it just a meme?

Based Spinoza.

17th century but still the best.
