Giles Deleuze's doctoral thesis concerned this man's "Expressionism in Philosophy." In one of his works, this man posited that inadequate ideas stem from the errors of singular finite beings in contrast to "adequate ideas;" in that work, he contrasted affects with a survival drive called the conatus and distinguished natura naturans from natura naturata. That work by this man starts with fifteen propositions which show that no substance can be conceived but God, while he also argued that Moses did not write the entire Torah in his Tractatus Theologico-Politicus. For 10 points, name this pantheistic rational philosopher who wrote a geometrically-ordered Ethics and was expelled from Amsterdam's Jewry.
