Answer
Yes, Durant's philosophical approach was influenced by Spinoza. Spinoza was a 17th-century Dutch philosopher who argued that God is not a personal being, but rather the impersonal, infinite, and all-encompassing substance of the universe. Durant was drawn to Spinoza's emphasis on reason and naturalism, and he adopted many of Spinoza's ideas in his own work.
