Document Summary

Like descartes, obsessed with intellectual salvation; but not from doubt and scepticism but bondage to passions and to false belief about human destiny and human freedom. Understanding in the rational sense led to the acquiessence of the spirit and to blessedness. Aim 1: sought a geometry of emotions. Spinoza argues no relationshipwe don"t have to explain the relation; 4th problem: the will - God doesn"t create eternal truths because he does not create at all he doesn"t have a willman doesn"t have a will. To talk about god is to talk about nature; to talk about mind is to talk about body; to talk about thought is to talk about extension; reality is a complete deterministic system. Spinoza is more of a rationalist than descartes. Substance is an individual thing which persists through time and remain the same the same despite changes in properties and without being properties of anything else.
