Just found this channel, you are doing such a stellar job! I don't have time to revisit all these works, nonetheless you are providing excellent encapsulations and reinvigorating my interests. Cheers!
I cannot resist mentioning that when you were discussing the mind-body problem I constantly of J.J. Thomson's struggle with the particle and wave characteristics of the newly discovered electron. It's a particle, no it's a wave. Spinoza would have loved that problem -- I suppose. Thanks yet again, johnny powell
Are there transcripts to these lectures? This lecture on Spinoza was brilliant, but I would not be able to understand any of it with Russon's explanation. Ethics is essentially written in a very different language. Many thanks, johnny powell, Physics, Reed College
This is an excellent introduction to Spinoza. It is telling of how John has a full understanding of Spinoza 's work. I was put off to learn about Spinoza just by hearing his name, but throughout this introduction, I feel much more comfortable understanding his thoughts. Thanks.
