What was this guy even about, religiosity aside?
Infopill me

>>16115883
How could he say all those things about the Torah?

Wow, I didn't know my best friend was that based!

We are all spinozists (some aspects of the one are still struggling to realize this)

>As Spinoza famously puts it, ‘no one yet has determined what the body can do’.

Admit it, Spinoza was a creepy weirdo.

>>16115883 H-holy... b..buh.. buh buh... BASED!

This statue has always confused me, where are his arms?

>>16118299
...under his cloak.

>>16118299

I'm confused every time I pass by it too

>>16115883
Spinoza was a jew who didn't like his jewishness so he mocked his religious beliefs in order to piss off his rabbi and got expelled on purpose because the jew is naturally rebellious,

>>16115902
to put it bluntly:
Essence is something that doesnt need another thing to exist, otherwise its just an aspect or "modality" of something else. because of this, essences cannot interact with eachother without sharing some underlying essence.
therefore, everything must be a modality of one infinite super essence, i.e God (you can also appropriate this as just 'being' or 'existence' or whatever)
therefore to understand God we should look at reality instead of going to church/synagogue, therefore hoes mad at him

>hhheeeeyyyyy buddy.... you know there's no substance, right? c'mon buddy, let's get a beer and play some smash bros

>>16118741
>there's no substance
Yeah, that's exactly what Spinoza said

>>16118756
not sure if this is bait or if you're an absolute brainlet... i already regret replying to (you)

>>16118762
Are you seriously convinced that Spinoza thought that there is no substance?

>>16117780
It actually is a climbing wall, isn;t it?

Theoretically, what would you do if you found out your best friend was a Spinozist? Alert the authorities, or take matters into your own hands?

I’m a Spinozist so id be happy that my friend and I had more in common

>>16118299
No extremities, he is entirely based

>>16115883
That would only strengthen our bond.

Spinoza is the Chad long face philosopher Guenon is the virgin long face mystic

>>16115883
>Spinoza was a brainle-
"Spinoza was offered the chair of philosophy at the University of Heidelberg, but he refused it, perhaps because of the possibility that it might in some way curb his freedom of thought."
>Spinoza was a kike who hated Jesu-
"On 27 July 1656, the Talmud Torah congregation of Amsterdam issued a writ of cherem (Hebrew: חרם, a kind of ban, shunning, ostracism, expulsion, or excommunication) against the 23-year-old Spinoza."
>Spinoza was an athei-
"After stating his proof for God’s existence, Spinoza addresses who “God” is. Spinoza believed that God is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe". He was frequently called an "atheist" by contemporaries, although nowhere in his work does Spinoza argue against the existence of God"
>He had very little influence on philosoph-
"Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel said, "The fact is that Spinoza is made a testing-point in modern philosophy, so that it may really be said: You are either a Spinozist or not a philosopher at all."

Where do you start with him lads? Just straight in to the ethics or is there a better secondary?

Let me in on the secret, you're all trust-fund kids right? Always baffled when I go once a year for the Uniqlo and see so many 20-somethings living there on retail jobs.

How does this refute it in any way?

Anyway him being hated by Jews while also hating Jesus and christcucks would be just extra based.

>>16115883
Spinozists don't have friends

>>16121478
Social housing in my case

>>16121561
Spinoza did not hate Jesus, in the TPP he spoke of him as one of the best educators in the history of humanity. He certainly did not believe that he was God, but he still found immense value i his moral teachings

>>16121635
I have friends, I talk about Spinoza to them and they find it interesting, one recently asked to borrow my copy of the ethics

>>16115883
Is that an iron maiden? The medieval torture device? Or should I say iron juden, heh

>Spinoza's thought was "...a western system of philosophy which occupies a foremost rank amongst the philosophies of all nations and ages, and which is so exact a representation of the ideas of the Vedanta, that we might have suspected its founder to have borrowed the fundamental principles of his system from the Hindus, did his biography not satisfy us that he was wholly unacquainted with their doctrines... We mean the philosophy of Spinoza, a man whose very life is a picture of that moral purity and intellectual indifference to the transitory charms of this world, which is the constant longing of the true Vedanta philosopher... comparing the fundamental ideas of both we should have no difficulty in proving that, had Spinoza been a Hindu, his system would in all probability mark a last phase of the Vedanta philosophy."
yeah I'm thinkin based
