God or Nature | Spinoza's Complete Philosophy

Описание: Deus sive Natura. God or Nature. With these three Latin words, Baruch Spinoza announced the most dangerous idea of the seventeenth century: that God and Nature are one and the same infinite reality. This equation demolished the distinction between Creator and creation, heaven and earth, the sacred and the natural. It made Spinoza the most reviled and secretly admired philosopher of his age.

This long-form exploration follows Spinoza's life from Amsterdam's Portuguese-Jewish community through his excommunication at age twenty-three, his quiet years as a lens grinder and philosopher, to his posthumous influence on Einstein, the Romantics, and contemporary thought. We trace the geometric arguments of the Ethics through substance monism, mind-body parallelism, the affects, human bondage, and the path to freedom through understanding. We examine conatus, the striving at the heart of all things, and the intellectual love of God that requires no supernatural belief.
