Que episódio insólito provocou a ira de Bento Espinosa, ou Baruch Spinoza, o filósofo do século XVII judeu português? Rui Tavares mergulha na extensa biografia escrita pelo historiador Jonathan Israel para tentar responder à pergunta: Terá Espinosa inventado a modernidade?
Um dos mais influentes historiadores do Iluminismo, Jonathan Israel, professor britânico que integrou o Institute for Advanced Study de Princeton, publicou recentemente “Spinoza, Life and Legacy”, uma impressionante biografia de Bento Espinosa, a quem Israel atribui o título de verdadeiro fundador do Iluminismo Radical — corrente filosófica que lançou as bases das ideias modernas de democracia.
Baseando-se nas mais de 1300 páginas desta extensa obra, Rui Tavares detém-se num episódio que Israel optou por omitir: aquele em que Espinosa, ao confrontar um crime bárbaro de motivação política, revela uma faceta intensamente humana e apaixonada, perdendo as estribeiras.
Que evento terá provocado tamanha irritação no autor do “Tratado Teológico-Político”? Neste episódio, somos convidados a redescobrir a biografia, o pensamento e a pertinência do legado filosófico e político de Espinosa, trazendo à luz uma reflexão que ressoa nos desafios contemporâneos.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
