Why does /lit/ never talk about the most based philosopher to ever live?

Is it because he was a jew?

There's a contemporary French Spinozist philosopher (of some kind, not sure how "orthodox" a Spinozist he is) who has at least one hardcore follower on /lit/. Haven't seen him lately.

Spinoza mostly gets invoked for the whole Deus sive Natura thing, in its later romantic guise, or else he gets invoked as a Jonathan Israel type Radical Enlightener. I rarely see an enthusiastic Spinozist in the straightforward metaphysical sense. He's either romanticized (and thus organicized) so that the adherent is really a Naturphilosoph much more than an orthodox Spinozist, or he's praised for his politics.

People who studied philosophy in France during the 1970's are still huge fans. There's probably not a lot of them though.

The dude is such a retard.
Absolute insane dogmatists and the thics he builds upon is absurd premises are beyond stupid.
No need to take him seriously.

Yeah he seems to be seen by /r/atheism types as some kind of prophet. Yet if they actually took some time to understand him beyond "dude god IS nature" they'd see his worldview is very much opposed to theirs.
