It took author Madeleine Thien nearly a decade to write her new novel The Book of Records. In the story, 7-year-old Lina and her father take refuge at an imagined place called the Sea. There, buildings serve as a waystation for people who are fleeing one place to make home in another. Thien says she wanted to set her novel in a location where centuries and histories might converge. In today's episode, Thien talks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about her personal relationship to the three historical thinkers who enter the story: Hannah Arendt, Baruch Spinoza, and Du Fu.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

So, we had thought, surely the supplements for Changeling: the Lost's first edition can't be as dense as the corebook. Surely there will be some let-up in the sheer volume of material crammed into the pages. And yet, here we are with the first book in the line, Autumn Nightmares, applying nostrums to our eyes and brains after the sea of tiny text and dizzying array of concepts and creatures contained therein. Have we regrets? Always, but not about this one. The book is focused on antagonists for the Lost: their fellow changelings, their former Keepers, their fetches and so forth. Underneath it all is the idea that the Autumn Court's pet emotion of fear is a defining part of the Lost experience... so if we forged ahead through these pages without stopping, is that bravery? Better philosophers than us will have to answer. In the meantime, as we recover our wits, here are two hours of our findings!

Feminist sound scholar and musician Marie Thompson is a theorist of noise. She has also been one of the key thinkers in integrating the study of sound with the study of affect. Dr. Thompson is Senior Lecturer in Popular Music at the Open University in the UK. She is the author of Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect, and Aesthetic Moralism (Bloomsbury, 2017) and the co-editor of Sound, Music, Affect: Theorizing Sonic Experience (Bloomsbury, 2013). She has developed Open University courses on topics such as Dolly Parton and Dub sound systems. Staring around the early 2000s, a number of scholars began to feel there was a tool missing in the toolbox of cultural scholarship. We had plenty of ways to talk about ideology and representation and rhetoric and identity, but what about sensation? How is it that a feeling like joy or panic can sweep through a room without a word being uttered? By what mechanism does a life develop a kind of texture of feeling over time? Affect studies is field interested in these questions, interested in how the world affects us. Words can produce affective states, but affect isn't reducible to words. So, it's easy to see why affect theory has been so attractive to sound and music scholars.  Noise is a notorious concept that means different things different people. In this conversation, Marie Thompson examines noise through the affect theory of Gilles Deleuze and Baruch Spinoza as well as the systems theory of Michel Serres. We'll also talk about her critique of acoustic ecology and a rather public debate she had with sound scholar Christoph Cox.     Learn more about your ad choices.

The Book of Records is many things: a book of historical fiction and speculative fiction, a meditation on time and on space-time,  on storytelling and truth, on memory and the imagination, a book that impossibly conjures the lives and eras of the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu and the political theorist […] The post Madeleine Thien : The Book of Records appeared first on Tin House.

On today's ID the Future out of the vault, join host and geologist Casey Luskin and historian of science Michael Keas for a lively conversation puncturing a series of anti-Christian myths about the history of science, including the Dark Ages myth, the flat-earth myth, the myth that humanity was rendered insignificant by the discovery of the size of the universe, and the simplistic revisionist history of Galileo and the Inquisition. What about the claim in the recent Cosmos TV series reboot that in abandoning his traditional Jewish faith, seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza was able to provide an improved framework for doing science? As Keas argues, the truth is just the opposite. Spinoza, he says, abandoned a key tenet of Judeo-Christian theology that had proven vital to the birth of science. Source

In this episode, JF and Phil continue their conversation on the wedge, their figure for the epistemological divide between approaching reality from the heart and exploring it with the mind. As the discussion unfolds, the wedge begins to reveal itself not as a rigid binary but as a spectrum—one that stretches from ultimate thickness to ultimate thinness. Could thinking, then, may be the art of navigating this epistemic gradient, seeking the sweet spot where the self meets the world, each on the other's terms?

‘Geluksprofessor' Ruut Veenhoven zette het wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar geluk internationaal op de kaart. Hij was hoogleraar Sociale condities voor menselijk geluk en richtte de World Database of Happiness op, een online databank waarin hij onderzoek naar geluk bundelde. Veenhoven had de ziekte van Kahler, een vorm van bloedkanker. Zijn vriend en collega Ad Bergsma vertelt over hem.   Charles Aznavour begon zijn leven als kind van Armeense vluchtelingen en kreeg te maken met armoede en racisme. Hij wist uit te groeien tot een icoon van de Franse chansons. Aznavour was met zijn poëtische teksten en tijdloze melodieën niet alleen de stem van Frankrijk, maar ook de stem van de wereld. 100 Jaar geleden werd hij geboren en onlangs verscheen er een biopic over zijn leven. Wie was de man achter hits als La Bohème en She? En hoe wist hij zich van een arme jongen in Parijs te ontwikkelen tot een wereldwijd fenomeen? Lara Billie Rense praat over Charles Aznavour met muziekjournalist Jean-Paul Heck.   In de podcastreeks Grote Geesten hoort u over indrukwekkende denkers uit de Humanistische Canon.

Wykład prof. Stanisława Obirka, Uniwersytet Trzeciego Wieku Collegium Civitas, 4 maja 2020 [1h06min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/judaizm-i-chrzescijanstwo-religie-siostrzane-czy-wrogie-czesc-ii/ Prof. Stanisław Obirek opowiada, jaką drogą podążyły chrześcijaństwo i judaizm w ciągu ostatnich dwóch tysięcy lat. Podczas gdy chrześcijaństwo uległo upolitycznieniu, stając się kultem państwowym, judaizm pozostał religią mniejszości. Prelekcja odbyła się w ramach Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku Collegium Civitas. Pierwszą część można obejrzeć tutaj https://youtu.be/QfKffQA1RYg Prof. Stanisław Obirek kontynuuje poprzedni wykład, w trakcie którego opowiadał o relacji judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa w pierwszych wiekach naszej ery. Mówił wówczas, że chrześcijaństwo było u swego zarania jednym z odłamów religii żydowskiej, a Nowy Testament można interpretować jako świadectwo konfliktu wewnątrz jego wyznawców. Jako punkt zwrotny w dziejach wiary żydowskiej wskazał wówczas zburzenie Świątyni Jerozolimskiej w 70 r., kiedy kult oparty na składaniu ofiary zastąpiła lektura i interpretacja Księgi. Kulturoznawca w drugim wykładzie „Judaizm i chrześcijaństwo – religie siostrzane czy wrogie” opowiada o drogach, jakimi podążyły obie religie w ciągu 2000 lat. Prelegent jako kluczową cezurę dla religii chrystusowej wskazuje 313 r., kiedy cesarz rzymski Konstantyn Wielki zrównał ją w prawach z innymi wyznaniami. Otworzyło to drogę do stania się przez chrześcijaństwo religią państwową. Prof. Obirek przywołuje również postać cesarza rzymskiego Juliana Apostaty, który na krótko odwrócił zmiany zaprowadzone przez Konstantyna. Zdaniem uczonego, pamięć o tym wydarzeniu przesądziła o tym, że chrześcijaństwo stało się religią upolitycznioną, która poprzez narzucanie sposobu życia politycznego i religijnego dążyła do zachowania przywilejów. Zdaniem Prof. Obirka wielowiekowa dominacja chrześcijaństwa w Europie wyparła pamięć o istnieniu kultów pogańskich, których przejawy były niszczone. Co więcej, w krajach takich jak Polska zatarciu uległa nawet pamięć o reformacji, wskutek czego chrześcijaństwo traktuje się jako jedność. Według prelegenta judaizm, która zawsze był religią mniejszości, nie uległ dzięki temu upolitycznieniu. W opinii prof. Obirka zachowanie autonomii przez wyznawców religii żydowskiej umożliwiło wydanie takich myślicieli, jak Majmonides czy Baruch Spinoza. Judaizm i chrześcijaństwo. Chasydyzm jako przykład osmozy między religiami Choć chrześcijaństwo i judaizm podążyły zupełnie odmiennymi drogami, za przejaw osmozy między religiami kulturoznawca wskazuje chasydyzm. Według prof. Obirka kult cadyków zrodził się w wyniku fascynacji przez środkowoeuropejskich Żydów figurą starego mędrca i mistycyzmem miejsc pielgrzymkowych w prawosławiu. Prelegent wskazuje, że w XX w. fundamentalne znacznie dla chrześcijaństwa miał sobór watykański drugi, który dopuścił możliwość istnienia innych religii. Recepcja postanowień soboru różnie przebiega jednak w poszczególnych krajach. Współczesna wiara żydowska również przybiera różne formy, jak otwarty judaizm reformowany w Stanach Zjednoczonych czy ortodoksyjny w Izraelu. Prof. dr hab.

Virginie Girod raconte le destin de Spinoza, penseur à la doctrine révolutionnaire, à l'occasion de la réédition du roman de José Rodrigues Dos Santos "Spinoza, l'homme qui a tué Dieu" aux éditions Pocket.Baruch Spinoza naît à Amsterdam en 1632. Sa famille, des Juifs originaires du Portugal, y a trouvé refuge pour échapper à l'Inquisition. Les Provinces-Unies, ancêtres des Pays-Bas, sont une République sans religion d'État qui prospère grâce au développement du commerce. Le père de Spinoza est lui-même un marchand aisé, qui offre une excellente éducation à ses fils. Le jeune Spinoza aurait fréquenté l'école juive, avant de se tourner vers les cours d'un ancien jésuite, Franciscus Affinius Van den Enden, qui a été excommunié à cause de sa pensée trop libre. Il se dit même que Van den Enden est athée, un scandale au XVIIe siècle !À la mort de son père, Baruch Spinoza reprend le commerce familial mais l'étude et la philosophie gardent une place essentielle dans sa vie au travers de la Yeshivah Keter Torah, une école supérieure hébraïque où l'on étudie les textes sacrés. Il y fait la connaissance du docteur Juan de Prado, une rencontre qui va changer sa vie. Juan de Prado est déiste et s'affranchit des dogmes ; il réfute ainsi l'idée d'un quelconque salut au paradis. Ses positions divisent profondément la Yeshiva et les rabbins lui demandent de rentrer dans le rang. Juan de Prado s'exécute, mais Spinoza continue de défendre ses idées. Offusquée, la communauté juive d'Amsterdam lui demande de faire amende honorable mais Spinoza préfère rester fidèle à sa liberté de penser. Face à son obstination, le conseil des Anciens prononce son Herem, son excommunication. À 24 ans, Spinoza est déjà un paria.

Con motivo de la publicación de su último libro “Pretendida libertad: El universo pasional con Baruch de Spinoza”, editado por Tecnos, el escritor Alberto Mira Almodóvar reflexionará sobre la idea de libertad en el pensamiento de Baruch Spinoza. Tal y como se indica en la obra, la actualidad del pensamiento de Baruch de Spinoza se manifiesta para nosotros de forma incontrovertible, pues es Spinoza el primero en pensar una libertad que no “pretenda” asentarse sobre el tan movedizo suelo del “arbitrio”, y que sólo en el conocimiento pueda reconocer su reino propio. Ser libre dice sólo, en Spinoza, no ser ignorante. De este concepto de libertad en Spinoza nos hablará Alberto Mira Almodóvar acompañado del escritor y filósofo Gabriel Albiac, y de José Sánchez Tortosa, doctor en Filosofía y profesor.

Today, Kris leads us into the life of Baruch (Benedictus) de Spinoza, the 17th Century Portuguese-Jewish philosopher of the 'Dutch Golden Age' who heralded in the Age of Enlightenment. Unitarians may discover that they share a lot in common with Baruch Spinoza. 

IS THERE A ONE TRUE GOD OVERVIEW: There are many sources of information that people use to infer what might be true about God, including observation and revelation: Observation Some say that general observations of the universe support the existence of God, such as the idea of a non-eternal universe as shown by the Big Bang theory. Other observations that might support God's existence include the Earth's weather patterns, which some say are finely tuned to support human life, and the way nature works to form life. Revelation Some say that God may have entered the universe and told us true things about himself, morality, and how to have a relationship with him. This includes the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible also includes passages that some say indicate that God has made evidence of his existence so obvious that there is no excuse for denying him.  IS THERE PROOF OF GOD'S EXISTENCE? The existence of God is a subject of debate in the philosophy of religion.[1] A wide variety of arguments for and against the existence of God can be categorized as logical, empirical, metaphysical, subjective or scientific. In philosophical terms, the question of the existence of God involves the disciplines of epistemology (the nature and scope of knowledge) and ontology (study of the nature of being or existence) and the theory of value (since some definitions of God include "perfection"). The Western tradition of philosophical discussion of the existence of God began with Plato and Aristotle, who made arguments for the existence of a being responsible for fashioning the universe, referred to as the demiurge or the unmoved mover, that today would be categorized as cosmological arguments. Other arguments for the existence of God have been proposed by St. Anselm, who formulated the first ontological argument; Thomas Aquinas, who presented his own version of the cosmological argument (the first way); René Descartes, who said that the existence of a benevolent God is logically necessary for the evidence of the senses to be meaningful. John Calvin argued for a sensus divinitatis, which gives each human a knowledge of God's existence. Islamic philosophers who developed arguments for the existence of God comprise Averroes, who made arguments influenced by Aristotle's concept of the unmoved mover; Al-Ghazali and Al-Kindi, who presented the Kalam cosmological argument; Avicenna, who presented the Proof of the Truthful; and Al-Farabi, who made Neoplatonic arguments. In philosophy, and more specifically in the philosophy of religion, atheism refers to the proposition that God does not exist.[2] Some religions, such as Jainism, reject the possibility of a creator deity. Philosophers who have provided arguments against the existence of God include David Hume, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Bertrand Russell. Theism, the proposition that God exists, is the dominant view among philosophers of religion.[3] In a 2020 PhilPapers survey, 69.50% of philosophers of religion stated that they accept or lean towards theism, while 19.86% stated they accept or lean towards atheism.[4] Prominent contemporary philosophers of religion who defended theism include Alvin Plantinga, Yujin Nagasawa, John Hick, Richard Swinburne, and William Lane Craig, while those who defended atheism include Graham Oppy, Paul Draper, Quentin Smith, J. L. Mackie, and J. L. Schellenberg. Traditional religious definition of God In classical theism, God is characterized as the metaphysically ultimate being (the first, timeless, absolutely simple and sovereign being, who is devoid of any anthropomorphic qualities), in distinction to other conceptions such as theistic personalism, open theism, and process theism. Classical theists do not believe that God can be completely defined. They believe it would contradict the transcendent nature of God for mere humans to define him. Robert Barron explains by analogy that it seems impossible for a two-dimensional object to conceive of three-dimensional humans.[7] In modern Western societies, the concepts of God typically entail a monotheistic, supreme, ultimate, and personal being, as found in the Christian, Islamic and Jewish traditions. In monotheistic religions outside the Abrahamic traditions, the existence of God is discussed in similar terms. In these traditions, God is also identified as the author (either directly or by inspiration) of certain texts, or that certain texts describe specific historical events caused by the God in question or communications from God (whether in direct speech or via dreams or omens). Some traditions also believe that God is the entity which is currently answering prayers for intervention or information or opinions. Ibn Rushd, a 12th-century Islamic scholar Many Islamic scholars have used philosophical and rational arguments to prove the existence of God. For example, Ibn Rushd, a 12th-century Islamic scholar, philosopher, and physician, states there are only two arguments worthy of adherence, both of which are found in what he calls the "Precious Book" (The Qur'an). Rushd cites "providence" and "invention" in using the Qur'an's parables to claim the existence of God. Rushd argues that the Earth's weather patterns are conditioned to support human life; thus, if the planet is so finely-tuned to maintain life, then it suggests a fine tuner—God. The Sun and the Moon are not just random objects floating in the Milky Way, rather they serve us day and night, and the way nature works and how life is formed, humankind benefits from it. Rushd essentially comes to a conclusion that there has to be a higher being who has made everything perfectly to serve the needs of human beings.[8][9] Moses ben Maimon, widely known as Maimonides, was a Jewish scholar who tried to logically prove the existence of God. Maimonides offered proofs for the existence of God, but he did not begin with defining God first, like many others do. Rather, he used the description of the earth and the universe to prove the existence of God. He talked about the Heavenly bodies and how they are committed to eternal motion. Maimonides argued that because every physical object is finite, it can only contain a finite amount of power. If everything in the universe, which includes all the planets and the stars, is finite, then there has to be an infinite power to push forth the motion of everything in the universe. Narrowing down to an infinite being, the only thing that can explain the motion is an infinite being (meaning God) which is neither a body nor a force in the body. Maimonides believed that this argument gives us a ground to believe that God is, not an idea of what God is. He believed that God cannot be understood or be compared.[10] Non-personal definitions of God In pantheism, God and the universe are considered to be the same thing. In this view, the natural sciences are essentially studying the nature of God. This definition of God creates the philosophical problem that a universe with God and one without God are the same, other than the words used to describe it. Deism and panentheism assert that there is a God distinct from, or which extends beyond (either in time or in space or in some other way) the universe. These positions deny that God intervenes in the operation of the universe, including communicating with humans personally. The notion that God never intervenes or communicates with the universe, or may have evolved into the universe (as in pandeism), makes it difficult, if not by definition impossible, to distinguish between a universe with God and one without. The Ethics of Baruch Spinoza gave two demonstrations of the existence of God.[11] The God of Spinoza is uncaused by any external force and has no free will, it is not personal and not anthropomorphic. Debate about how theism should be argued In Christian faith, theologian and philosopher Thomas Aquinas made a distinction between: (a) preambles of faith and (b) articles of faith.[12] The preambles include alleged truths contained in revelation which are nevertheless demonstrable by reason, e.g., the immortality of the soul, the existence of God. The articles of faith, on the other hand, contain truths that cannot be proven or reached by reason alone and presuppose the truths of the preambles, e.g., in Christianity, the Holy Trinity, is not demonstrable and presupposes the existence of God. The argument that the existence of God can be known to all, even prior to exposure to any divine revelation, predates Christianity.[clarification needed] Paul the Apostle made this argument when he said that pagans were without excuse because "since the creation of the world God's invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made".[13] In this, Paul alludes to the proofs for a creator, later enunciated by Thomas Aquinas[14] and others, that had also been explored by the Greek philosophers. Another apologetical school of thought, including Dutch and American Reformed thinkers (such as Abraham Kuyper, Benjamin Warfield, and Herman Dooyeweerd), emerged in the late 1920s. This school was instituted by Cornelius Van Til, and came to be popularly called presuppositional apologetics (though Van Til felt "transcendental" would be a more accurate title). The main distinction between this approach and the more classical evidentialist approach is that the presuppositionalist denies any common ground between the believer and the non-believer, except that which the non-believer denies, namely, the assumption of the truth of the theistic worldview. In other words, presuppositionalists do not believe that the existence of God can be proven by appeal to raw, uninterpreted, or "brute" facts, which have the same (theoretical) meaning to people with fundamentally different worldviews, because they deny that such a condition is even possible. They claim that the only possible proof for the existence of God is that the very same belief is the necessary condition to the intelligibility of all other human experience and action. They attempt to prove the existence of God by means of appeal to the transcendental necessity of the belief—indirectly (by appeal to the unavowed presuppositions of the non-believer's worldview) rather than directly (by appeal to some form of common factuality). In practice this school uses what have come to be known as transcendental arguments. These arguments claim to demonstrate that all human experience and action (even the condition of unbelief, itself) is a proof for the existence of God, because God's existence is the necessary condition of their intelligibility. Protestant Christians note that the Christian faith teaches "salvation is by faith",[15] and that faith is reliance upon the faithfulness of God. The most extreme example of this position is called fideism, which holds that faith is simply the will to believe, and argues that if God's existence were rationally demonstrable, faith in its existence would become superfluous. Søren Kierkegaard argued that objective knowledge, such as 1+1=2, is unimportant to existence. If God could rationally be proven, his existence would be unimportant to humans.[citation needed] It is because God cannot rationally be proven that his existence is important to us. In The Justification of Knowledge, the Calvinist theologian Robert L. Reymond argues that believers should not attempt to prove the existence of God. Since he believes all such proofs are fundamentally unsound, believers should not place their confidence in them, much less resort to them in discussions with non-believers; rather, they should accept the content of revelation by faith. Reymond's position is similar to that of his mentor Gordon Clark, which holds that all worldviews are based on certain unprovable first premises (or, axioms), and therefore are ultimately unprovable. The Christian theist therefore must simply choose to start with Christianity rather than anything else, by a "leap of faith". This position is also sometimes called presuppositional apologetics, but should not be confused with the Van Tillian variety. THE HISTORICAL JESUS According to Christianity, Jesus is the Son of God as chronicled in the Bible's New Testament, and in most Christian denominations He is held to be God the Son, a prosopon (Person) of the Trinity of God. Christians believe him to be the messiah, or a saviour (giving him the title Christ), who was prophesied in the Bible's Old Testament. Through Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection, Christians believe that God offers humans salvation and eternal life,[1] with Jesus's death atoning for all sin, thus making humanity right with God. The commonly held belief among Christians is the phrase, "Jesus died for your sins," and thus they accept that salvation is only possible through him.[2] These teachings emphasize that as the Lamb of God, Jesus chose to suffer nailed to the cross at Calvary as a sign of his obedience to the will of God, as an "agent and servant of God".[3][4] Jesus's choice positions him as a man of obedience, in contrast to Adam's disobedience.[5] According to the New Testament, after God raised him from the dead,[6] Jesus ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father,[7] with his followers awaiting his return to Earth and God's subsequent Last Judgment.[8] According to the gospel accounts, Jesus was born of a virgin, instructed other Jews how to follow God (sometimes using parables), performed miracles and gathered disciples. Christians generally believe that this narrative is historically true. While there has been theological debate over the nature of Jesus, Trinitarian Christians believe that Jesus is the Logos, God incarnate (God in human form), God the Son, and "true God and true man"—fully divine and fully human. Jesus, having become fully human in all respects, suffered the pains and temptations of a mortal man, yet he did not sin.

Taller "Introducción a Baruch Spinoza. Inmanencia, afectos y política" Información: http://tallerdefilosofia.com.ar/#!/-introduccion-a-spinoza-inmanencia/

Quotation Themes:  Primary themes: Truth, risk, liberty and justice, morality, personal responsibility, conscience. Secondary themes: Fragility of democracy, reputation/legacy, service, demanding rights, tyranny, duty and patriotism, societal and common welfare, fundamental rights, legality, reform, individual and collective agency or action, and constitutional liberties.In this 11-minute podcast, I highlight informative and insightful quotes by Enlightenment men as well as from Great men who inherit the spirit of Enlightenment values. Some of the men of which I highlight either 1-2 quotes include the Buddha who was born in India, Cyrus the Great of Persia, Frederick II of Prussia, Baruch Spinoza of the Netherlands, Immanuel Kant of Germany, Benjamin Franklin of the United States of America, Samuel Adams of the United States of America, Edmund Burke of Ireland, Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America, Benjamin Rush of the United States of America, and Georges Bernanos of France. Additionally, I highlight multiple quotes by three icons of human rights and constitutional liberty of whom are the 2nd president of the United States of America John Adams, the first law minister of India and creator of its constitution Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, and the 44th president of the United States who established universal health care reform for the first time in American history, ended the War in Iraq, and killed the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks Osama Bin Laden, President Barack Obama. The figures of President John Adams, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, and President Barack Obama are not only a few of my most admired advocates of liberty, justice, and human rights, but they are also all constitutional experts and proponents of constitutional principles: President John Adams wrote the first constitution for a representative republic in modern history for the Massachusetts government in 1780 setting the precedent for all constitutions in the modern era; Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the first law minister of India and thus was the primary drafter of India's first constitution allowing for the establishment of parliamentary democracy and India's code of ethics for all Indians especially through the institutions of quotas and reservations for the underclass; President Barack Obama not only shaped political democracy, but also American mores, values, and ethics, channeling his experience as a young community organizer in Chicago, Illinois and his expertise as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago for 10 years into the American presidency where he fostered a new dialogue on race relations by establishing the Brother Keeper's foundation to provide mentorship to young men across the United States of America while also setting the precedent for equality through the implementation of the Fair Pay Act for women and proliferating liberty and justice around the world by fostering future leaders through his Obama foundation. As illustrated by the men who I have chosen to quote, there is a thread in history that binds us all together and a tradition of freedom that we all share. More importantly, as these men have demonstrated, it is only through an understanding of history, political precedents, and cultural norms, that we can even begin to reform the social fabric of society which is predicated on social democracy.  

In this session we were joined by Tracie Matysik to discuss the very idea of a Spinozan philosophy beyond the writings of Baruch Spinoza himself, and particular in the work of Marx. To what extent is there a consistent  tradition of materialist monism that can be traced back to Spinoza and necessarily or possibly informs historical materialism? […]

Addentriamoci in una delle opere più importanti di Baruch Spinoza, incentrata sulle religioni e sulla politica.

Cominciamo a parlare dell'ebreo olandese Baruch Spinoza, uno dei più originali e interessanti pensatori del Seicento.

In the tradition of the great theistic philosophers, Baruch Spinoza presents us with a metaphysical vision of the cosmos, as ordered by God. But in sharp contrast with thinkers such as Pascal, Spinoza's arguments for God are crafted with an attempt of logical precision. In fact, Spinoza structures his arguments as geometric proofs, and considers the only serious philosophy to be a truly mathematized philosophy. In his Ethics, Spinoza gives us a comprehensive system that describes God, Nature, everything. Nietzsche says of Spinoza, "I have a precursor! And what a precursor!" While he was critical of Spinoza, Nietzsche acknowledged the ideas of Spinoza as profoundly influential on his thought. And yet, Spinoza's work remains famously difficult. Where he fits in to the Western philosophical canon is not readily apparent. Rarely is he portrayed as a great opponent of any one philosopher or school, and it seems that he lacks true antipodes. He is grouped among the three great rationalists, along with Descartes and Leibniz - even though these three come to radically different metaphysical conclusions, and bear little resemblance to one another aside from this one classification of their epistemological stance. And since Spinoza's philosophy is so voluminous, its ideas interrelated and comprehensive, approaching Spinoza and having some idea of where he stands within the discourse is difficult for the average reader. In this episode, we'll consider Spinoza's life and work, and then consider the ways in which his life parallels Nietzsche, and the ways in which his life influenced Nietzsche.

Spinoza's philosophical framework laid out, along with several points of disagreement with the moderate Enlightenment Newtonians and Leibnizians.  We get to some of Spinoza's specific arguments with other scientists.  With Steno, he had a non rational disagreement, with Huygens, he was accused of focusing too much on reason rather then experiment which inevitably leads to error, much to Spinoza's personal chagrin.

Pourtant, l'histoire personnelle du philosophe nous permet de comprendre sa pensée.À l'occasion de la sortie du dernier roman de José Rodrigues Dos Santos, "Spinoza, l'homme qui a tué Dieu" aux éditions Hervé Chopin, Virginie Girod vous raconte le destin de ce penseur à la doctrine révolutionnaire. Baruch Spinoza naît à Amsterdam en 1632. Sa famille, des Juifs originaires du Portugal, y a trouvé refuge pour échapper aux conversions forcées. Les Provinces-Unies, ancêtres des Pays-Bas, sont une République sans religion d'État qui prospère grâce au développement du commerce. Le père de Spinoza est lui-même un marchand aisé, qui offre une excellente éducation à ses fils. Le jeune Spinoza aurait fréquenté l'école juive, avant de se tourner vers les cours d'un ancien jésuite, Franciscus Affinius Van den Enden, qui a été excommunié à cause de sa pensée trop libre. Il se dit même que Van den Enden est athée, un scandale au XVIIe siècle ! À la mort de son père, Baruch Spinoza reprend le commerce familial mais l'étude et la philosophie gardent une place essentielle dans sa vie au travers de la Yeshivah Keter Torah, une école supérieure hébraïque où l'on étudie les textes sacrés. Il y fait la connaissance du docteur Juan de Prado, une rencontre qui va changer sa vie. Juan de Prado est déiste et s'affranchit des dogmes ; il réfute ainsi l'idée d'un quelconque salut au paradis. Ses positions divisent profondément la Yeshiva et les rabbins lui demandent de rentrer dans le rang. Juan de Prado s'exécute, mais Spinoza continue de défendre ses idées. Offusquée, la communauté juive d'Amsterdam lui demande de faire amende honorable mais Spinoza préfère rester fidèle à sa liberté de penser. Face à son obstination, le conseil des Anciens prononce son Herem, son excommunication. À 24 ans, Spinoza est déjà un paria.

Dylan Shaul presents the one of the most important events in modern philosophy, the Pantheism Controversy sparked by the reception of Spinoza in 18th century Germany. The Controversy involved the greatest German philosophers of the period, and laid the foundations for the next 200 years of European thought. In the balance of the Pantheism Controversy hung the fate of the Enlightenment and Modernity; the fate of faith and reason, religion and philosophy; the fate of freedom, of the immortal soul, and even of God Godself. Our story will take us from the renegade Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza, to the heyday of the German Aufklärung or Enlightenment, through the philosophical revolution of Immanuel Kant, and eventually the birth of German Idealism itself. In the first episode of the series, we explored the philosophy of Spinoza and its reception in Germany, which first spurred the controversy. In the second episode we explored Immanuel Kant's response to Spinozism and the Pantheism Controversy, where he attempted to stake out a middle ground between reason and faith. In this third episode we'll tackle Hegel's efforts to solve the Pantheism Controversy by reconciling Spinoza and Kant—thereby attempting to complete the grand journey from nihilism to Absolute Spirit. Dylan Shaul is a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. His dissertation is titled Hegel's Concept of Reconciliation: On Absolute Spirit. He has also published on Spinoza, Kant, Kierkegaard, Husserl, Adorno, Levinas, Kristeva, and Derrida.

17th Century philosopher Baruch Spinoza spoils Earth Day for everyone!

In this episode we speak with Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness core faculty, Jack Bagby about his engagement with the philosophy of music, from Socrates, to Schopenhauer, and Bergson. We discuss Jack's recent PCC class called The Philosophy of Music and the Attunement of the Soul and dive into the complex ideas of these thinkers regarding the transformative powers of music. Jack explains how the ancient Greek's developed a complex set of tuning systems and alternative temperaments with powerful attributes and psychic properties, in which one can attune themselves to through the development of an affective psychology. Jack, and myself have been experimenting composing and improvising in these these modes and we share 3 pieces based on ancient Greek modes. PCC Forum with Jack Bagby: Tuning, Caring for, and Recollecting the Soul in Socrates' Swansongs Musical Compositions in the Episode by Jack Bagby and Jonathan Kay 1. A Paean of Apollo the Healer in Archytas' Dorian Diatonic 2. Ptolemy soft diatonic 3. A prelude to the compromises of universality. Ptolemy's Even Diatonic John (Jack) Bagby received his PhD. in philosophy from Boston College in 2021, and a B.A. in philosophy and ancient Greek language, from the Pennsylvania State University in 2013. Professor Bagby conducts research on the history of philosophy, focusing on problems related to consciousness, nature, and evolution. He has published in Epoché and Journal for the British Society of Phenomenology, on ancient Greek philosophy and phenomenology (especially Henri Bergson) and has strong research interests in Baruch Spinoza, 19th-20th century European philosophy, process philosophy, philosophy of music, and aesthetics. He is currently working on a translation of Bergson's 1902-3 Lectures at the Collège de France The History of The Idea of Time (Bloomsbury Press), and finishing up the manuscript of his monograph Integrals of Experience: Aristotle and Bergson. When thinking about complex concepts or solving textual problems, Jack loves to construct diagrams and concept maps. Between 2016-2018 he combined his love for creating visualizations with his love of Spinoza to create a website that maps the complex textual citations used in his magnum opus, the Ethics.
