Why does Locke get all the credit when his ideas of natural rights and democracy were borrowed from Spinoza?

Because he is English.

Because people on this board speak English and people who matter in the world today aren't Jewish/don't care about Barry Spinez.

should've concealed your b8 better. Spinoza wasn't Ashkenazi tho, but Sephardim

Spinoza is seriously underated.

Kant willfully igmored but thanks to Shelling,Hegel and Nietzsche he is gaining more recognition.


His Ethics is incredible philosophy worthy of Ancient Greek philosophy.

I feel like pretty much everyone who is even somewhat into philosophy, esp continental philosophy, rates Spionza

This. Even in classes specifically focused on his time period + subject matter will just gloss over him real quick. Like Schopenhauer he's (unfortunately) ignored in current academia. It's always: Descartes=>Locke=>Hume=>Kant=>Hegel=>Nietzsche=>Marx.

I dunno, my uni is heavily analytically bent so maybe the more continental schools hit him up more like that anon said?

Because Locke used the Bible, while Spinoza was a heretic.

Schopen is a B-list philosopher, there's a reason he became famous with his pop-philosophy work than his system.

How did ethics play into this system?

He became popular with his accessible stuff because people are plebs. That holds nothing against his main work.
