a friend suggested that to read him, i should start chronologically, so im going to do that, but i just wanted to hear what you guys had to say about him.
also ive never read Descartes but Principles of Cartesian Philosopy should help with that because it's literally just Spinoza's own description of how he interpreted Descartes, thereby totally removing the need for reading Descartes to understand his influence on Spin.

>It wouldn't, because different substances have one and the same essence, and therefore one and the same attribute. You're confusing matter with essence, matter is what causes the numerical multiplication of substances, whereas essence (the attributes) always remains one, unitary, behind multiplicity. All non-essential individuality is caused essentially by matter.
For Spinoza, in order for two or more substances to interact with one another, they must have an attribute in common. But since no attribute is repeated between multiple substances, it's impossible for a substance to interact with another one. This argument doesn't refer to unity or multiplicity whatsoever.
>it would be an undifferentiated pure genus
That's exactly what substance is for Spinoza. Spinoza's error was to only conceive it as sameness with itself, when it's also opposition with itself as Hegel remarked in the Science of Logic. If it wasn't in an internal opposition, there would be no becoming, only a parmidean One. If unity and multiplicity were to be instantiated by absolutely different entities with no sameness, that would entail both exist by themselves, and if both exist by themselves, then you would have to explain how do both interact. Unity, since it's different to multiplicity, presupposes multiplicity, and since multiplicity is not unity, it presuposses sameness. This is exactly why Hegel's solution is so brilliant, they're both the same and not the same. It avoids the problem monism's problem of differentiation and pluralism/dualism's problem of substance interaction.

lately the more i reflect on the nature of consciousness the more i realise that it's a constant in universe. Death is merely changing the goggles from which you view the world. All is one and all is divine. What should I read to deepen my insight on this topic? Where should I start with Spinoza? What buddhist texts should i read when i speak no asian languages?

>Hence, if this ideality of time and space is not adopted, nothing remains but Spinozism, in which time and space are essential determinations of the divine being, while the things dependent on it (ourselves included) are not substances, but merely accidents inhering in it"
Kant

why havent you taken the Spinoza pill yet?

Who /philosemite/ here?
I’m a Christian Zionist, although I don’t support the current government of Israel I believe keeping the Temple Mount sage is key for the Second Coming so I donate to Israel every year.
Ignore the antisemites and let’s try to have a civilized discussion shall we?
Anyways, Spinoza is my favorite philosopher, but I’ve been getting into Maimonides recently.
Highly recommend Guide for the Perplexed.
