Politics of spinoza's vanishing dichotomies / Rorty, Amelie Oksenberg   Journal Article
Rorty, Amelie Oksenberg Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Spinoza's project of showing how the mind can be freed from its passive affects and the State from its divisive factions (E IV.Appendix and V.Preface) ultimately coincides with the aims announced in the subtitle of the Tractatus-Theologico-Politicus (TTP) "to demonstrate that [the] freedom to philosophize does not endanger the piety and obedience required for civic peace."1 Both projects rest on a set of provisional isomorphic distinctions-between adequate and inadequate ideas, between reason and the imagination, between active and passive affects-that Spinoza proceeds to blur, and indeed to renounce. In using these distinctions while also moving to overcome them, Spinoza is not confused or indecisive. Every philosopher, every wise Sovereign, every free man who attempts to incorporate adequate ideas in inadequately framed, perspectivally limited contexts must use these distinctions and also see how deeply misleading they are. I want to offer a friendly amendment to Hasana Sharpe's essay "The Force of Ideas in Spinoza" arguing that Spinoza refuses her distinction between the force of an idea and its truth.2

Why can’t we all just get along: the reasonable vs. the rational according to Spinoza / Garver, Eugene   Journal Article
Garver, Eugene Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Spinoza presents a picture of the good human life in which being rational and being reasonable or sociable are mutually supporting: the philosopher makes the best citizen, and citizenship is the best route to philosophy and adequate ideas. Crucial to this mutual implication are the roles of religion and politics in promoting obedience. It is through obedience that people can become "of one mind and one body" in the absence of adequate ideas, through the presence of shared empowering imaginations and emotions.
