Though best-known for his contributions to metaphysics, Spinozaâs \u003ci\u003eTheological-Political Treatise\u003c\/i\u003e (1670) and his unfinished \u003ci\u003ePolitical Treatise\u003c\/i\u003e (1677) were widely debated and helped to shape the political writings of philosophers as diverse as Rousseau, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and (although he publicly denied it) even Locke.
