It was Spinoza who first raised the Jewish question.In Spinoza's times,the Netherlands had be-come a battleground for imperialist powers.Spinoza made a detailed description of the good government,i.e.the liberal democratic government in A Theologico-Political Treatise.It is of great importance to explore the logical base of Spinoza's theory construction through the liberal democracy.First of all,Spinoza applied historicism and documents reading to the reconstruction of concepts,separated theology from philosophy and religious laws from secular rules,and shattered the inherent superiority of the"permanent voter"of Judaism.Secondly,in A Theo-logico-Political Treatise,Spinoza lashed out at the national foundation of the Jewish nation from the perspectives of human nature and freedom.Finally,Spinoza established liberal democracy on the basis of reconstructing the-ology and reinterpreting the Jewish nation.As the liberal democracy was established after the collapse,it is diffi-cult to find out its effectiveness in problem-solving.Facing the present Palestinian-Israeli conflict,the academic circle is urgently required to contribute more to the resolution of centuries-old conflict of the Jewish people.
