on BBC Two England

A history of western philosophy in 15 parts 5: Spinoza and Leibniz with Anthony Quinton , Chairman of the British Library and formerly President of Trinity College, Oxford.
Two contrasted personalities - one of them the most famous Jewish philosopher since New Testament times, the other among the most gifted polymaths who have lived - are the subject of today's programme. Each tried to produce a world-picture in which science and religion could play an uninhibited role. Each left a permanent mark on western thought.
