The central feature of the account is a novel concept of consciousness, one that identifies consciousness with affectivity, a property of an idea paradigmatically but not exhaustively instantiated by those modes of thought Spinoza calls affects.

About this product

Product Information

Eugene Marshall presents an original, systematic account of Spinoza's philosophy of mind, in which the mind is presented as an affective mechanism, one that, when rational, behaves as a spiritual automaton. The account provides a consistent yet novel way of thinking about central themes in Spinoza's thought, and illuminates Spinoza's systematic philosophical and ethical project in a striking new way.
