Описание: While Spinoza is often interpreted as an early secular or liberal thinker, this book argues that such interpretations neglect the senses of order and authority that are at the heart of Spinoza’s idea of God. For Spinoza, God is an organized and directed totality of all that exists. God is entirely immanent to this totality, to such an extent that all things are fundamentally of God. Appreciating the full extent to which God permeates and orders every aspect of reality, allows the full sense of Spinoza’s theories of tolerance and the social contract to come into view. Rather than assuming that human beings involved in political relationships are independent, autonomous individuals, for Spinoza they are parts of a larger whole subject to distinct natural laws. Spinoza maintains that such laws manifest themselves equally and identically in the seemingly distinct realms of religion and politics. In this respect, Spinoza’s theories of religion and biblical interpretation are not properly secular in character but rather blur the standard boundary between the religious and the political as they try to recognize and codify the inviolable laws of nature – or God.

A bold re-evaluation of Spinoza that reveals his powerful, inclusive vision of religion for the modern age
Spinoza is widely regarded as either a God-forsaking atheist or a God-intoxicated pantheist, but Clare Carlisle says that he was neither. In Spinoza's Religion, she sets out a bold interpretation of Spinoza through a lucid new reading of his masterpiece, the Ethics. Putting the question of religion centre-stage but refusing to convert Spinozism to Christianity, Carlisle reveals that "being in God" unites Spinoza's metaphysics and ethics. Spinoza's Religion unfolds a powerful, inclusive philosophical vision for the modern age--one that is grounded in a profound questioning of how to live a joyful, fully human life. Like Spinoza himself, the Ethics doesn't fit into any ready-made religious category. But Carlisle shows how it wrestles with the question of religion in strikingly original ways, responding both critically and constructively to the diverse, broadly Christian context in which Spinoza lived and worked. Philosophy itself, as Spinoza practiced it, became a spiritual endeavor that expressed his devotion to a truthful, virtuous way of life. Offering startling new insights into Spinoza's famously enigmatic ideas about eternal life and the intellectual love of God, Carlisle uncovers a Spinozist religion that integrates self-knowledge, desire, practice, and embodied ethical life to reach toward our "highest happiness"--to rest in God. Seen through Carlisle's eyes, the Ethics prompts us to rethink not only Spinoza but also religion itself.

Описание: This book presents the first accessible analysis of Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-politicus, situating the work in the context of Spinoza’s general philosophy and its 17th-century historical background. According to Spinoza it is impossible for a being to be infinitely perfect and to have a legislative will. This idea, demonstrated in the Ethics, is presupposed and further elaborated in the Tractatus Theologico-politicus. It implies not only that on the level of truth all revealed religion is false, but also that all authority is of human origin and that all obedience is rooted in a political structure. The consequences for authority as it is used in a religious context are explored: the authority of Scripture, the authority of particular interpretations of Scripture, and the authority of the Church. Verbeek also explores the work of two other philosophers of the period - Hobbes and Descartes - to highlight certain peculiarities of Spinoza's position, and to show the contrasts between their theories.

Описание:
Riccardo Caporali examines of all of Spinoza’s works while addressing the challenges imposed by the historical circumstances at the time. Spinoza’s work and its author – the philosopher and the man – go hand in hand. Focusing on Spinoza’s constant preoccupation with the relationship between metaphysics and politics, Caporali shows that it takes different forms in his various major works. He highlights specific moments of this discontinuity, particularly in the transition between the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus and the Tractatus Politicus. And he weaves in comparisons and references to Machiavelli, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Vico and Hegel, and to many contemporary interpretations of Spinoza’s thought.

Описание: These essays provide different, sometimes opposing interpretations of Spinoza`s views of freedom, action, and motivation as they operate across all parts of the Ethics and discuss how they contribute to contemporary discussions in the philosophy of action and motivation.
Описание: Everything which we have so far learned from the application of the scientific method about the extended universe tends toward standing in support of Spinoza's concept of the one substance which constitutes the being of, and beyond that, is the cause of everything. Beginning with the weirdly named 'big bang'; all objects in the known universe emanated from one source. This source originated in an unimaginably huge detonation which exploded from its compressed state, and transformed into all of the matter and the dark matter which taken together account for all that is visible, invisible and measureable: galaxies, constellations, solar systems, planets and people. Each of these objects, considered individually, is comprised in some measure of concatenations of elements in the atomic table. The chemical composition of gaseous matter present during the birth of stars and the molecular chemical structure of the cause of life forms on earth stand in direct relation. Along with similar molecular elements they further share the source of their inception; pressure and energy fueled by either fission or fusion. The 'big bang', which for our purposes can be considered at the very least as the proximate cause of the universe, begat the matter which forms the elemental structures of heavenly bodies and all planetary life forms. Long before it would have been conceived of as possible Baruch intuited one self-caused 'substance' which could not be conceived of as other than existent and further and which must be understood to comprise a state of infinite being. This 'ontos' encapsulates at the functional level the twin attributes of thought and extension, plus an infinite number of other attributes which we can deduce logically but not experience directly; plus the modifications of thinking, breathing, procreation; and the creation, destruction and re-constitution of every element in the universe. If the enormity of the size of the known universe can be somehow captured and reflected upon by the individual human mind, one thought and understanding emerges and remains inescapable. This thought is not ephemeral or phantasmagorical; it lies in the formation and presence in the human mind of the concept which takes the form of an adequate idea. That idea is of one eternal substance; essentially this is god. Every adequate idea exists only through its correlate, an existing object in our experience. This reflexive interaction which we live with each day comprises the source of the 'self-evident' truth. Spinoza's bequest to us lends us the ability to realize that human perception is not 'inherently flawed'. It simply needs to be recognized, embraced and developed to its fullest extent. Further, the ability of a finite modality to encapsulate god's essence within its individuality in the form of an idea is the only proof requisite for the existence of god. Spinoza said this; ..."the finite demonstrates clearly the existence of the infinite". This fundamental understanding is ours for the taking. The time and strenuous mental energy which must be exerted to accomplish this understanding on our parts is a given and a necessity. At the point in time when 'god's essence and existence' becomes clear in our minds, it will hit like the proverbial 'ton of bricks'. But it will feel most welcome indeed. With Baruch's guidance we can experience and understand god. At some point in human evolution we developed what evolved into an innate skill to see through our extended world and to grasp intuitively the essence of substance itself. This innate capability resides in a state of potential in every person born on this planet, regardless of geography, ethnic grouping or cultural affinity. Spinoza called this capability "Amor Dei Intellectus" or the Intellectual Love of God. We may simply refer to it as god, as we stand in awe at the immensity of life.

An authoritative edition of George Eliot's elegant translation of Spinoza's greatest philosophical work
In 1856, Marian Evans completed her translation of Benedict de Spinoza's Ethics while living in Berlin with the philosopher and critic George Henry Lewes. This would have become the first edition of Spinoza's controversial masterpiece in English, but the translation remained unpublished because of a disagreement between Lewes and the publisher. Later that year, Evans turned to fiction writing, and by 1859 she had published her first novel under the pseudonym George Eliot. This splendid edition makes Eliot's translation of the Ethics available to today's readers while also tracing Eliot's deep engagement with Spinoza both before and after she wrote the novels that established her as one of English literature's greatest writers.
Clare Carlisle's introduction places the Ethics in its seventeenth-century context and explains its key philosophical claims. She discusses George Eliot's intellectual formation, her interest in Spinoza, the circumstances of her translation of the Ethics, and the influence of Spinoza's ideas on her literary work. Carlisle shows how Eliot drew on Spinoza's radical insights on religion, ethics, and human emotions, and brings to light surprising affinities between Spinoza's austere philosophy and the rich fictional worlds of Eliot's novels.
This authoritative edition demonstrates why George Eliot's translation remains one of the most compelling and philosophically astute renderings of Spinoza's Latin text. It includes notes that indicate Eliot's amendments to her manuscript and discuss her translation decisions alongside more recent English editions.
