Spinoza and the Case for Philosophy by Elhanan Yakira
Requirements: PDF Reader 3.2 MB, 2014
Overview: This book analyzes three often-debated questions of Spinoza’s legacy: was Spinoza a religious thinker? How should we understand Spinoza’s mind-body doctrine? What meaning can be given to Spinoza’s notions – such as salvation, beatitude, and freedom – which are seemingly incompatible with his determinism, his secularism, and his critique of religion. Through a close reading of often-overlooked sections from Spinoza’s Ethics, Elhanan Yakira argues that these seemingly conflicting elements are indeed compatible, despite Spinoza’s iconoclastic meanings. Yakira argues that Ethics is an attempt at providing a purely philosophical – as opposed to theological – foundation for the theory of value and normativity.
