کتاب The Spinoza Problem رمانی تاریخی و روانشناختی است که دو زندگی کاملاً متفاوت را در دو دوره تاریخی به یکدیگر پیوند میدهد. اروین یالوم با روایتی موازی، زندگی باروخ اسپینوزا، فیلسوف برجسته قرن هفدهم، و آلفرد روزنبرگ، نظریهپرداز نازی، را دنبال میکند و این پرسش را مطرح میسازد که چگونه یکی از بزرگترین متفکران آلمان، گوته، شیفته اندیشههای اسپینوزا بوده است؛ فیلسوفی که روزنبرگ او را متعلق به قومی میدانست که از آن نفرت داشت.
این کتاب با تلفیق واقعیتهای تاریخی و داستانپردازی، خواننده را به دل آمستردام قرن هفدهم و آلمان دوران ظهور نازیسم میبرد. یالوم با بهرهگیری از دانش روانپزشکی خود، انگیزهها، ترسها، باورها و کشمکشهای درونی شخصیتها را با دقتی کمنظیر به تصویر میکشد و نشان میدهد چگونه اندیشه، تعصب، قدرت و هویت میتوانند مسیر زندگی انسانها و حتی تاریخ را دگرگون کنند.
When sixteen-year-old Alfred Rosenberg is called into his headmaster’s office for anti-Semitic remarks he made during a school speech, he is forced, as punishment, to memorize passages about Spinoza from the autobiography of the German poet Goethe. Rosenberg is stunned to discover that Goethe, his idol, was a great admirer of the Jewish seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Long after graduation, Rosenberg remains haunted by this “Spinoza problem”: how could the German genius Goethe have been inspired by a member of a race Rosenberg considers so inferior to his own, a race he was determined to destroy?
Spinoza himself was no stranger to punishment during his lifetime. Because of his unorthodox religious views, he was excommunicated from the Amsterdam Jewish community in 1656, at the age of twenty-four, and banished from the only world he had ever known. Though his life was short and he lived without means in great isolation, he nonetheless produced works that changed the course of history.
Over the years, Rosenberg rose through the ranks to become an outspoken Nazi ideologue, a faithful servant of Hitler, and the main author of racial policy for the Third Reich. Still, his Spinoza obsession lingered.
By imagining the unexpected intersection of Spinoza’s life with Rosenberg’s, internationally bestselling novelist Irvin D. Yalom explores the mindsets of two men separated by 300 years. Using his skills as a psychiatrist, he explores the inner lives of Spinoza, the saintly secular philosopher, and of Rosenberg, the godless mass murderer.
