Baruch Spinoza was a 17th century Dutch philosopher who was born Jewish but later excluded from the Jewish community and considered an atheist by some. As a rationalist and radical free-thinker, he enjoyed questioning societal beliefs and was influenced by Descartes' views on consciousness. Some of Spinoza's key philosophical ideas included determinism, that the world is infinite, and relating good and evil to human pleasure and pain.
