Event Description
- Full Description:
- Spinoza maintains that any two distinct things are discernible. The way that he applies this principle at Ethics 1p5 and 2p10s shows that, on his view, human beings share a nature but that we nevertheless differ essentially from one another. Spinoza's arguments on this subject move from a Cartesian to a Leibnizian account of created substance.
Prof. Michael LeBuffe (Otago)
