Spinoza’s Relevance to Contemporary Metaphysics
Abstrak
This chapter explores some of Spinoza’s metaphysical views in light of recent discussions in contemporary analytic metaphysics. It focuses on monism, metaphysical dependence, and modality, arguing in each case that Spinoza has interesting, distinctive, and relevant contributions to make to contemporary debates. The chapter highlights the ways Spinoza’s views overlap and diverge from contemporary analogs, shedding light on both contemporary views and Spinoza’s own. It also discusses Spinoza’s commitments to systematicity and explanatory naturalism in metaphysics, and it shows how some of his conclusions flow from these commitments. The chapter begins with a brief overview on how long-dead philosophers can be relevant for contemporary philosophy.
