| Bronze statue of the dutch philosopher Benedictus de Spinoza, born in the capital of Amsterdam at this site in 1632 and the son of Jewish refugees. The quote, Het doel van de staat is de vrijheid (in English The purpose of the state is freedom) is carved on one end of an oval terrazzo platform, and neatly sums up his philosophy in one short phrase. |
