Author Biography
Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was born in Amsterdam of Jewish parents who were refugees from the Spanish Inquisition. Of all the philosophers of the 17th century, perhaps none have more relevance today than Spinoza. Hunter Lewis, co-founder of the global investment firm Cambridge Associates, has written six books on economics and moral philosophy. He has served on boards and committees of fifteen leading not-for-profit organizations, including environmental, teaching, research, and cultural organizations, as well as the World Bank.
