Oder die von dem heutigen Judentum und dessen geheimen Kabbala vergötterte Welt
Der Spinozismus im Judentum untersucht die Beziehung zwischen dem jüdischen Glauben und der Philosophie Spinozas, die im 17. Jahrhundert aufkam. Das Buch beleuchtet, wie das moderne Judentum und die mystischen Elemente der Kabbala in der Weltanschauung Spinozas verwoben sind. Diese Neuausgabe von 1699 bietet einen wertvollen Einblick in die damaligen religiösen und philosophischen Diskurse und zeigt die tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen von Spinozas Denken auf das jüdische Selbstverständnis.
The theory that Christianity was a branch of the Jewish sect of the Essenes, a theory which had been often advocated since the Enlightenment, was developed for the first time in Wachter‹s treatise ‹De Christianae religionis primis incunabulis‹, published here for the first time. The work ‹Origines juris naturalis‹ is one of the few examples of a further development of Spinoza‹s philosophy of law. The synthesis of Kabbalah and Spinozism in ‹Elucidarius cabalisticus‹ caused a sensation, above all as an apologia from Spinoza, and was an important point of reference for studying Spinoza, for Leibniz among others.
Johann Georg Wachter (1663–1757) first philosophical work is an early example of the deistic philosophy of religion in the German freethinker movement. In addition, this text influenced the discussions on the Kabbalah and Spinoza up to the era of Lessing and Jacobi.
