Abstract	:	This article deals with the way the controversy on the presumed Spinozism of G.E. Lessing during the eighties of the eighteenth century, also known as the Pantheismusstreit, was the start of a new interpretation of Spinoza as a spiritual thinker. At a time when Spinozism was generally considered a form of immoralism, this new interpretation of Spinoza came about as a defence strategy against those who tried to discredit Enlightenment ideas by attacking those harbouring such ideas for being Spinozists.
