[@craigbrelsford]

Thank you, Mr. Russell and Mr. Spinoza and Mr. Uploader

the world needs more spinozas

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

It has them. But kanye west, joel Epstein and other tellivangelist nut cases suck all the oxygen from the masses. It leaves a spinozist hopelessly surrounded by very shallow people. However MLK was a different case here.

[@Bombtrack411]

Thanks for uploading! I admire both Russell and Spinoza.

[@ReubenAStern]

I think this guy was damn near spot on :) after studying religion in great depth, I was working on a theory, and it was much like Spinoza's but not as complete.

[@jon553]

have you written out your theory? would like to investigate. thanks, best, yoni

[@mistery4437]

All admirers of Spinoza should read the 8th century Indian philosopher Shankaracharya and his Advaita Vedanta.

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

Perhaps but for what purpose? Spinoza is complete. No one should have to seek the nationality of a truth teller. So long as the truth is what it is. And that the truth is not relative to your special race creed status in life or color.

[@jonatanduelund9123]

@@EinsteinKnowedIt I think you will find that Advaita Vedanta agrees very much with what you just said. And i suggest you examine your definition of the word complete.

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

@@jonatanduelund9123 oh yes agreed! I am interested in little else than deep rooted well thought out philosophical truths. Spinoza isn't the first to apprehend them but he is the most compelling explainer of them. So I'm told. And from reading him I'm convinced.

Great upload

[@rgaleny]

Parmenedies' Fatalism and Pantheistic animism, vs Heraclitus' Change, flux and becoming. Spinoza is with Parmenedes.

[@dionysianapollomarx]

He was with both, as he was with the Stoics, Descartes, and Hobbes. Spinozism is that unique.

[@ruvstof]

Spinoza's opposite seems to me heraclitus.

[@WeenkerIV]

[@garycromie7127]

Spinoza dances with Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhism ...

[@jr1019]

+gary cromie Was Spinoza a great Human?

[@mistery4437]

Two Indian philosophers who never get the same attention as received by Spinoza for saying the same thing yet in far more profound way. Advaita Vedanta by Shankaracharya Zen Budhism by Bodhidharma

[@lawrence9506]

Spinoza did not reject metaphysics. Neither did Schopenhauer. Hume in one passage did entirely reject metaphysics but then he did not.

[@palladin331]

Spinoza's work IS metaphysics.

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

@@497novakl someone else commented here and deleted it. My comment wasn't to you at all. So I had to delete my comment. I'm a proud spinozist. Where Yeshia did not qrite, at least I get somewhere with spinozas works.

If people can understand his theory world is more peaceful.

[@hyperduality2838]

A is dual to that which is not A! Positive is dual to negative. Knowledge is dual:- Deductive knowledge is dual to inductive knowledge -- Immanuel Kant. Thesis is dual to anti-thesis -- the generalized Hegelian dialectic.

[@chexlemeneux3484]

He was born Benedito de Espinosa. That's Portuguese.

[@childericking]

Apparently he was a native speaker of Spanish.

Baruch Spinoza Sephardi jew

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

Still hung up on race and/or nationality i see. Look he was excommunicated. He's a brotha now. Slaves and prisoners weould understand him quocker than his contemporaies. Hence this iswhy he had an omen and strted writing feverishly until he died. And one guy he influenced heabily was a black man.and i considwr that black matuematician a reencarnation of his mind. So much for a this nationality pride stuff.

[@hyperduality2838]

Mind is dual to matter -- Descartes. Thesis is dual to anti-thesis -- the time independent Hegelian dialectic. Mind (thesis) is dual to matter (anti-thesis) creates or synthesizes God! God (non-duality) is created from duality!

[@dionysianapollomarx]

Russell's reading is rather inchoate.

[@paulheinrichdietrich9518]

Russelll's voice was exasperating.

THOMAS PAINE IS BETTER AT POLITICS

[@siddharthamishra1999]

He certainly was a great man and had a clear and charismatic style of writing, but the men mostly covered in this book were either more groundbreaking in their contributions to philosophy or had a bigger impact on history.
