| | BARUCH SPINOZA - LoveToKnow Article on BARUCH SPINOZA |
 | | Spinozas position is based upon the thoroughgoing distinction drawn in the book between philosophy, which has to do with knowledge and opinion, and theology, or, as we shotild now say, religion, which has to do exclusively with obedience and conduct. | | | Spinoza undertakes to prove his case by the instance of the Hebrew Scriptures. | | | Spinoza was buried on the 25th of February in the new church upon the Spuy, being attended, Colerus tells us, by many illustrious persons and followed by six coaches. |

| | Baruch Spinoza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Spinoza contended that "Deus sive Natura" ("God or Nature") was a being of infinitely many attributes, of which extension and thought were two. | | | Known as both the "greatest Jew" and the "greatest Atheist", Spinoza contended that God and Nature were two names for the same reality, namely the single substance (meaning "to stand beneath" rather than "matter") that underlies the universe and of which all lesser "entities" are actually modes or modifications. | | | Spinoza equated God (infinite substance) with Nature, and Einstein, too, believed in an impersonal deity. |

| | Spinoza: the first modern pantheist. |
| | At first Spinoza was reviled as an atheist - and certainly, his God is not the conventional Judo-Christian God. | | | Spinoza believed that everything that exists is God. | | | And Spinoza's starting point is not nature or the cosmos, but a purely theoretical definition of God. |

| | Baruch Spinoza |
| | Spinoza's God is not the God of Abraham and Isaac, not a personal God at all, and his system provides no reason for the revelatory status of the Bible or the practice of Judaism, or of any religion, for that matter. | | | Spinoza's God is perfect, which means everything is as it must be and cannot be otherwise. | | | Like Jefferson, again, Spinoza was a kind of Unitarian, for whom the purely religious aspects of the religions were nearly meaningless. |

| | Baruch Spinoza |
| | What Spinoza intends to demonstrate (in the strongest sense of that word) is the truth about God, nature and especially ourselves; and the highest principles of society, religion and the good life. | | | Central to Spinoza's analysis of the Jewish religion -- although it is applicable to any religion whatsoever -- is the distinction between the divine law and the ceremonial law. | | | But Spinoza's ultimate intention is reveal the truth about Scripture and religion, and thereby to undercut the political power exercised in modern states by religious authorities. |

| | Benedict De Spinoza [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Spinoza's comment that a person who has attained the intellectual love of God "never ceases to be" is perplexing to say the least. | | | Spinoza tells us that the model human life - the life lived by the 'free-man' — is one that is lived by the guidance of reason rather than under the sway of the passions. | | | Spinoza's contention that those who live by the guidance of reason will naturally live in harmony with one another receives some support from his view of the highest good for a human. |

| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - SPINOZA, BARUCH (BENEDICT DE SPINOZA): |
| | It is clear that Spinoza had already formed a circle of friends and disciples, mainly of the Mennonite sect known as Collegiants, whoso doctrines were similar to those of the Quakers; and that he had attended a philosophical club composed mainly of these sectaries, one of whom, Simon de Vries, acted as secretary. | | | Schleiermacher expressed himself in the highest terms of Spinoza, and Novalis called the so-called "atheist" a "God-intoxicated Jew." This revival of interest in Spinoza was due possibly to the influence of Herder and Goethe, who had both given utterance to great admiration for Spinoza's life and thought. | | | On the other hand, the doctrine of the parallelism of thought and extension is original with Spinoza, and is due to his desire to evade the difficulties of the Cartesian doctrine. |

| | Spinoza |
| | Spinoza disavowed anthropomorphic conceptions of god as both logically and theologically unsound, proposed modern historical-critical methods for biblical interpretation, and defended political toleration of alternative religious practices. | | | Spinoza preferred the designation "Deus sive Natura" ("god or nature") as the most fitting name for this being, and he argued that the its infinite attributes account for every feature of the universe. | | | In Book I Spinoza claimed to demonstrate both the necessary existence and the unitary nature of the unique, single substance that comprises all of reality. |

| | Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) - By Miles Hodges |
| | He was given the Hebrew name "Baruch," meaning "blessed," which translates into the Latin as "Benedictus." He grew up in comfort--for his father was a prosperous merchant. | | | To Spinoza this is why the principle of intellectual and spiritual tolerance was of the highest order of things. | | | Existence exists in the form of pure substance--which works out to be Spinoza's definition of God. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spinoza |
| | It must be shown that God's unchangeableness does not involve the necessity of all Divine action; it must be proved that the dependence of the finite upon the infinite does not demand a counter-relation in the infinite, and that there is a metaphysic world of pure possibility and universal conceptions. | | | About 1651 Spinoza, unable to see his way clearly, seems for a short time to have abandoned metaphysical studies, and to have fought a hard battle with his passions. | | | But neither the doctrine of the one and only Divine substance, nor the higher unity of "extension" and "thought" in the infinite and the finite, nor the instinct of self-preservation, is clearly expressed in it. |

| | Enlightenment - Baruch Spinoza |
| | Spinoza conceded the possible existence of infinite attributes of substance, but he held that only two are accessible to the human mind: extension (the world of material things) and conscious thought, both of which depend on and exist in an ultimate reality. | | | Spinoza's work Ethics Demonstrated with Geometrical Order (1674) asserts that the universe is identical with God, who is the uncaused "substance" of all things. | | | Spinoza explained the individuality of things, whether physical objects or ideas, as particular modes of substance: natura naturata (nature begotten), or nature in the multiplicity of its manifestations; and natura naturans (nature begetting), or nature in its creative unity, acting as the determiner of its own modes. |

| | Philosophers : Baruch Spinoza |
| | Unlike Descartes, however, he regarded mind and body (or ideas and the physical universe) as merely different aspects of a single substance, which he called alternately God and Nature, God being Nature in its fullness. | | | He saw the supreme ambition of the virtuous person as the "intellectual love of God." Spinoza shared with Descartes an intensely mathematical appreciation of the universe: truth, like geometry, follows from first principles, and is accessible to the logical mind. | | | After charges of heretical thought and practice led to his excommunication from the Jewish community in Amsterdam in 1656, he Latinized his name to Benedict. |

| | William F. Buckley Jr., living at full sail - The Washington Times: Books - August 08, 2004 |
| | Buckley writes of purchasing (and eventually selling) his boats, fitting them out, gathering a crew, setting out on a journey at sea, and finally coming into port — with numerous contingencies and decisions in mind throughout the voyage — there is a strong sense of excitement, contentment, and fulfillment. | | | He devotes more essays to sailing than to any other topic in "Miles Gone By," returning to the subject in his ruminative final chapter. | | | This transcends the fact that he writes of genoas, spinnakers, and 101 other nautical terms that can leave the land-bound reader feeling a little like Bertie Wooster contemplating Baruch Spinoza's collected works. |
