Spiritual and Social Commentary
Author: Billy Spears

ISBN: 1640825673

Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
In my mental meanderings I came across a thought, "Where does God fit into the scheme of things?" Upon realizing God is the scheme of things, I settled on the thought that God is the scheme I should follow. In these musings I was given the idea, we're all schemers. I was given the revelation to promote the goodness of God and I say this with God as my witness. The thing is God is the faithful witness. Faith without works is dead. So I wanted to cast aside the dead weight of the unfaithful and add some life to this life we live. Because in Genesis 1:2, God said, "Let there be light," and it was. It wasn't the sun, moon, or stars, but the true light of the world in the form of his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who truly is Genesis 1:2, the light of the world. "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life'" (John 8:12). Jesus being the light of the world and me about to slip into darkness, quite naturally, I reached for the marvelous light instead. I wanted to pass on to others in the form of this book, Spiritual and Social Commentary. The commentator has commentated that I should write a spiritual and social commentary.

Spinoza: Ethics
Author: Matthew J. Kisner
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108657206
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Spinoza's Ethics is one of the most significant texts of the early modern period, important to history, philosophy, Jewish studies and religious studies. It had a major influence on Enlightenment thinkers and the development of the modern world. In Ethics, Spinoza addresses the most fundamental perennial philosophical questions concerning the nature of God, human beings and a good life. His startling answers synthesize the longstanding traditions of ancient Greek and Jewish philosophy with the developments of the emerging scientific revolution. The resulting philosophical system casts out the willing, personal God of Abrahamic religions and takes up the challenge of reconceiving the natural world and human beings in an entirely secular way. This volume offers a new translation based on a new critical edition, reflecting the state of the art in Spinoza scholarship, and also includes an introduction, chronology and glossary to help make this notoriously difficult text accessible.

Nature and Necessity in Spinoza's Philosophy
Author: Don Garrett
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190880007
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
Spinoza's guiding commitment to the thesis that nothing exists or occurs outside of the scope of nature and its necessary laws makes him one of the great seventeenth-century exemplars of both philosophical naturalism and explanatory rationalism. Nature and Necessity in Spinoza's Philosophy brings together for the first time eighteen of Don Garrett's articles on Spinoza's philosophy, ranging over the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, ethics, and political philosophy. Taken together, these influential articles provide a comprehensive interpretation of that philosophy, including Spinoza's theories of substance, thought and extension, causation, truth, knowledge, individuation, representation, consciousness, conatus, teleology, emotion, freedom, responsibility, virtue, contract, the state, and eternity-and the deep interrelations among them. Each article aims to resolve significant problems in the understanding of Spinoza's philosophy in such a way as to make evident both his reasons for his views and the enduring value of his ideas. At the same time, Garrett's articles elucidate the relations between his philosophy and those of predecessors and contemporaries like Aristotle, Hobbes, Descartes, Locke, and Leibniz. Lastly, the volume offers important and substantial replies to leading critics on four crucial topics: the necessary existence of God (Nature), substance monism, necessitarianism, and consciousness.

Spinoza and the Sciences
Author: Marjorie Grene
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400945140
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Prefatory Explanation It must be remarked at once that I am 'editor' of this volume only in that I had the honor of presiding at the symposium on Spinoza and the Sciences at which a number of these papers were presented (exceptions are those by Hans Jonas, Richard Popkin, Joe VanZandt and our four European contributors), in that I have given some editorial advice on details of some of the papers, including translations, and finally, in that my name appears on the cover. The choice of speakers, and of addi tional contributors, is entirely due to Robert Cohen and Debra Nails; and nearly all the burden of readying the manuscript for the press has been borne by the latter. In the introduction to another anthology on Spinoza I opened my remarks by quoting a statement of Sir Stuart Hampshire about inter pretations of Spinoza's chief work: All these masks have been fitted on him and each of them does to some extent fit. But they remain masks, not the living face. They do not show the moving tensions and unresolved conflicts in Spinoza's Ethics. (Hampshire, 1973, p. 297) The double theme of 'moving tensions' and 'unresolved conflicts' seems even more appropriate to the present volume. What is Spinoza's rela tion to the sciences? The answers are many, and they criss-cross one another in a number of complicated ways.

Ethics
Author: Benedict de Spinoza
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0028526503
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The Ethics is a philosophical book written by Baruch Spinoza. It was written in Latin. Although it was published posthumously in 1677, it is his most famous work, and is considered his magnum opus. In The Ethics, Spinoza attempts to demonstrate a "fully cohesive philosophical system that strives to provide a coherent picture of reality and to comprehend the meaning of an ethical life. Following a logical step-by-step format, it defines in turn the nature of God, the mind, human bondage to the emotions, and the power of understanding -- moving from a consideration of the eternal, to speculate upon humanity's place in the natural order, freedom, and the path to attainable happiness.
