Spinoza on Nature

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The aim of this book is to examine Spinoza's novel (and heretical) view of God as nature [which] is infused into ev-erything else that Spinoza has to say on physics, physiology, psychology Scrip-tural exegesis and its social conse-quences, and political theory. . . . For Spinoza to have created a philosophy of the whole which yet retains its articula-tion of parts, was a signal contribution to the history of thought. And for a book written in our time to explicate fully, de-liberately, and clearly this contribution is itself an important addition to the scholarly thinking of the late twentieth century."-from the Foreword
