How Spinoza Changed Everything (And Why It Matters)

[@time8871]

Interesting information, thanks. Spinoza is also mentioned in a book I'm currently reading, Aldous Huxley's After Many A Summer. It contains this interesting Spinoza quote: 'A man may be excusable and nevertheless tormented in many ways. A horse is excusable for not being a man; but nevertheless he must needs be a horse and not a man.'

I enjoy how you both weave together and tease apart multiple disciplines. Even though I have to listen multiple times to grasp the basics. Subscribed 🎉

Baruch Spinoza: 'The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.'

The one and only philosopher who deserves more attention and thorough multiple readings along with practising of his truely real philosophy system with its own logic consisted of attribute and modus versus standard logic most people use nowadays. I'm a fan of him as of 2000 and read all of his books but Jewish grammar. Needless to say that his books are still listed in Prohibitorum Librorum.

Spinoza had a major, yet under-appreciated, influence on the leaders of the American Revolution. May I recommend Matthew Stewart’s Nature’s God to anyone interested in why and how Spinoza’s philosophy undergirds our modern world.

I want to share an apology, that no one would ever have known was necessary to make. When I saw a white lady with tattoos, I wasn't impressed and that is to my eternal damnation. Now on this, my second video learning with her (her name still unknown - and I apologize for that as well even though I looked for it,) I noticed her tattoo was of a library shelf and then realized that she is an authentic scholar - I would like to know her name and how to contact her. I had no right to this feeling since I am no one's scholar myself. All I can say in my defense is that I came here directly from an ugly social media site that had me thinking in that way. So, that all said, she and the material she is reading from, are the first to excite my interest in Spinoza, despite my KNOWING beforehand that one of my heroes, Einstein, that I wrote a paper on in college spoke highly of. The information presented here will further my reading of and about Spinoza. For that alone - I thank the producers of this video and their excellent spokesperson that I referred to above. Would love some contact information for her so that I might apologize for my vapid disrespect for initially.
