Naturalism and Democracy

Spinoza on Knowledge and the Human Mind
Truth, adequacy and error, the Mind-Body relation and the meaning of "having" an idea are issues still at the center of philosophical debate. Spinoza belongs to those past masters whose work always inspires renewed insights on these as on other philosophical issues. This volume revolves around Part II of Spinoza's opus magnum, the Ethics where he offers his theory of knowledge and the human mind. Stuart Hampshire writes about "Truth and Correspondence"; Alexandre Matheron discusses "Ideas of Ideas and Certainty"; Alan Donagan writes on "Language, Ideas and Reasoning"; Jonathan Bennett tackles the difficult one substance — two attributes issue, and Yirmiyahu Yovel analyzes 'common notions' ...
Spinozas Theorie des Menschen
Es ist wohl wahr, daß Spinoza den Menschen als Teil der Natur bestimmt, aber es ist nicht wahr, daß er ihn deshalb als unselbständigen Teil einer Natur im Ganzen begreift. Die vorschnelle, aber verbreitete Meinung, Spinozas Philosophie sei als ein auf den Monismus der Substanz gegründetes deduktives System zu verstehen, beruht auf einer Fehldeutung seines Hauptwerkes, der Ethik. Sie ist vielmehr durch einen Perspektiven-Dualismus gekennzeichnet, der einen doppelten Ausgangspunkt hat: den Ausgang von Gott und den Ausgang vom Menschen. Der diese beiden Glieder verknüpfende Grundgedanke ist der einer durchgängigen Rationalität der Welt; dies ist ein eminent auf den Menschen bezogener Ged...
Spinozas Philosophie
Der renommierte Spinoza-Forscher Wolfgang Bartuschat, dessen gerade abgeschlossene Gesamtübersetzung (PhB 91–96a) heute die maßgebliche deutsche Ausgabe der Werke Spinozas darstellt, versammelt mit diesem Band seine wichtigsten Beiträge zu dessen Philosophie. Der Band vereinigt verschiedene Aufsätze, die in den letzten vierzig Jahren an zum Teil verstreuten Orten erschienen und daher nur schwer zugänglich sind. In teils systematischer, teils historischer Perspektive umfassen die Kapitel im Wesentlichen drei zentrale Bereiche, die sich an Spinozas Denken knüpfen lassen: Erstens das Thema Ontologie und Subjektivität, die Basis von Bartuschats Buch »Spinozas Theorie des Menschen« (1992); zweitens Aufsätze zu den Feldern Ethik und Politik, die dort nur am Rande erörtert wurden, und drittens Aufsätze zur Beziehung Spinozas zur klassischen Philosophie von Leibniz bis Hegel, die zu erörtern dort ganz ausgespart wurde, für eine kritische Würdigung der eigenständigen Position Spinozas aber besonders wichtig ist.
The Collected Works of Spinoza, Volume II
The second and final volume of the most authoritative English-language edition of Spinoza's writings The Collected Works of Spinoza provides, for the first time in English, a truly satisfactory edition of all of Spinoza's writings, with accurate and readable translations, based on the best critical editions of the original-language texts, done by a scholar who has published extensively on the philosopher's work. The centerpiece of this second volume is Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise, a landmark work in the history of biblical scholarship, the first argument for democracy by a major philosopher, and a forceful defense of freedom of thought and expression. This work is accompanied ...

The Significance of Beauty
In the Critique of Judgment, Kant argues that feeling is part of the system of the mind. Judgments of taste based on feeling are a unique kind of judgment, and the feeling that is their foundation forms an independent third power of the mind. Feeling has a special role within this system in that it also provides a transition between the other two powers of the mind, cognition and desire. Matthews argues that feeling, our experience of beauty, provides a transition because it orients humans in a sensible world. Judgments of taste help overcome the difficulties that arise when rational cognitive and moral ends must be pursued in a sensible world. Matthews demonstrates how feeling, disassociated from rational activities in Kant's earlier works, is now central in reaching rational ends and understanding humans as unified rational beings. Audience: This book would be of interest to research libraries and university libraries, philosophers, historians and aestheticians.
The Concept of Love in 17th and 18th Century Philosophy
"Love is joy with the accompanying idea of an external cause." Spinoza's definition of love manifests a major paradigm shift achieved by seventeenth-century Europe, in which the emotions, formerly seen as normative "forces of nature," were embraced by the new science of the mind.This shift has often been seen as a transition from a philosophy laden with implicit values and assumptions to a more scientific and value-free way of understanding human action. But is this rational approach really value-free? Today we tend to believe that values are inescapable, and that the descriptive-mechanical method implies its own set of values. Yet the assertion by Spinoza, Malebranche, Leibniz, and Enlighte...
