Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was a Dutch philosopher who combined rationalism and metaphysics to create a unique system of thought. Spinoza was held up as an atheist philosopher in the 18th century, but this is not an entirely accurate representation of his views since he did not deny the existence of God but only theorised that he might be different from the orthodox view of most Jews and Christians. An advocate for religious toleration, Spinoza's redefinition of God won him anything but toleration for his views in his own lifetime.

Early Life

Baruch (Benedictus de) Spinoza was born in Amsterdam on 24 November 1632. Baruch's parents were Portuguese-Jewish immigrants who had settled in Amsterdam in search of religious freedom after they had been obliged to publicly convert to Christianity back in their home country. Baruch studied Hebrew and Jewish texts but then moved on to wider philosophical works thanks to his father, a fruit merchant, paying for a private tutor to teach him Latin. Baruch also studied science and worked as a maker of lenses, then something of a Dutch speciality. Baruch's parents remained an important presence in Amsterdam's Jewish community. This community did not take kindly to Baruch's more radical views, particularly his questioning of both the accuracy of the Bible and the claim that it was the only true source of human history. In July 1656, Spinoza was excommunicated as a heretic. Baruch changed his Hebrew name to a Latinized version, Benedictus, and retreated into philosophy.

In 1660, Spinoza left Amsterdam – the final straw was suffering a knife attack outside a theatre - to ply his trade near Leiden. He later moved again to Voorburg near The Hague. Spinoza worked as little as he could afford to on his lens grinding so that he could spend more time on his intellectual interests. As his reputation grew, he also received grants and pensions from wealthy admirers. Spinoza had by now cultivated correspondence with some of Europe's leading thinkers such as fellow Dutchman Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), Robert Boyle (1627-1691) in England, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) in Germany. In 1663, Spinoza published his Principles of Descartes' Philosophy and Metaphysical Thoughts. In 1673, Spinoza was offered a professorship at the University of Heidelberg, but he did not accept it since there was a condition that he not "disturb the publicly established religion" (Gottlieb, 89). Spinoza preferred instead the freedom of taking his own path to intellectual enlightenment.

Voorhout, voorburg, voorschoten... dit lijkt teveel op elkaar. Ik ben totaal niet bij het verkeerde treinstation. Dit gaan we hernoemen hoor. Het wordt:

Voorburg - achterschoten - nahout

Voorburg - achterhout - naschoten

Voorschoten - achterburg - nahout

Voorschoten - achterhout - naburg

Voorhout - achterschoten - naburg

The Who in Voorburg, Netherlands, March 10 1973

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Check out the apt. in this 1933 building in Voorburg Noord north, The Netherlands. If you like orange and Marilyn Monroe, you've got to see this. 5bds, 1.5ba, €450K + €180mo. HOA / $474K + $190mo. HOA fee.

The 2fl. apt. is on the 2nd & 3rd floors. The description says:  The house is fully furnished in a retro style, with many accents from the iconic actress, so I'm assuming that it comes furnished.

Isn't this smashing? I love the orange fireplace insert.

You know what? If you're not fond of orange, it would be fun to paint the furniture in other colors to tie in with the orange, right?

Isn't this fun?

There's a spacious dining area. According to the description there's lots of sunlight right down to the last ray of the day. So, it's great for plants.

A lovely balcony fitted with privacy fabric.

Looks like the realtor stood on a stepladder to take this photo of the water closet.

Neat galley kitchen also has a door to the balcony. The realtor says, "The kitchen is located at the rear and gives you the real retro feeling, step into the American dream!" I would move in here in a New York Minute.

One of the bedrooms is used as a home gym.

The primary bedroom is a subdued black, white & gray with pops of orange.

The bath has a cool orange vanity.

Stairs to the 2nd level.

Laundry and folding table at the top of the stairs.

Large secondary bedroom and nursery.

There's an office and massage table in this large room.

Looks like there's a little nook up there.

In addition to the balcony, there's a roof top deck.

View of the neighborhood.

Wat gebeurde er op 28 maart? 1687 – CONSTANTIJN HUYGENS (90) OVERLEDEN

Hij was een Nederlandse dichter, diplomaat, geleerde, componist, architect en polyglot.

Huygens staat bekend als een van de grootste dichters uit de Gouden Eeuw. Hij was tevens secretaris van twee prinsen van Oranje: Frederik Hendrik en Willem II. In Voorburg liet hij het nog steeds bestaande buiten Hofwijck bouwen, bedoeld om even bij te kunnen komen van de Haagse politiek. Constantijn Huygens was de vader van de staatsman en natuurkundige Constantijn Huygens jr. en de geniale natuur- en wiskundige Christiaan Huygens...

Recensie en foto: Mieke van der RaayVrijdagavond zag ik in het Ludens Theater in Voorburg de indrukwekkende onewomanshow You’re too cute to be an astronaut van en met Judy Lijdsman. Hoewel ik haar vooral kende als danseres, was ik benieuwd hoe zij zich zou ontpoppen als theatermaker en verteller. In deze komische én ontroerende voorstelling geeft Lijdsman een stem aan haar naamgenote, de…
