Meaning in Spinoza's method / Aaron V. Garrett.

Call Number	199/.492
Author	Garrett, Aaron, author.
Title	Meaning in Spinoza's method / Aaron V. Garrett.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xii, 240 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	A worm in the blood: some central themes in Sinoza's Ethics -- A few further basic concepts -- Emendative therapy and the Tractatus de Intellectus Emendatione -- Method:analysis and synthesis -- Maimonides and Gersonides -- Definitions in Spinoza's Ethics: where they come from and what they are for -- The third kind of knowledge and "our" eternity.
Summary	Readers of Spinoza's philosophy have often been daunted, and sometimes been enchanted, by the geometrical method which he employs in his philosophical masterpiece the Ethics. In Meaning in Spinoza's Method Aaron Garrett examines this method and suggests that its purpose, in Spinoza's view, was not just to present claims and propositions but also in some sense to change the readers and allow them to look at themselves and the world in a different way. His discussion draws not only on Spinoza's works but also on those of the philosophers who influenced Spinoza most strongly, including Hobbes, Descartes, Maimonides and Gersonides. This controversial book will be of interest to historians of philosophy and to anyone interested in the relation between form and content in philosophical works.
Subject	Spinoza, Benedictus de, 1632-1677. METHODOLOGY.
