I'm amazed that Spinoza got it right at that time.

There are some millions of pages written by old philosophers, sure people can find true stuff that they guessed. This does not mean we should be amazed. We are not having available at the moment we become amazed the non-amazing fact that Spinoza made 2367 mistakes in his written life. I'm as amazed by Spinoza as I am amazed by Nostradamus. It is not zero, but it wouldn't pay a book.
