I can’t believe I’ve made it this far without mentioning Spinoza. He’s the philosopher that I spend the most time studying. I’ve added a new webpage where I’ll be working on an examination of Part III and V of his Ethics. If you’re a Spinoza freak like me, check back every once in awhile. I’ll keep updating the blog on changes. Basically, I’ve been trying to work on an argument that equates a somewhat free, particular thing (ie, humans) with certain sorts of adequate knowledge (holding true ideas of both the cause and effect of any event). The sort of adequate knowledge I mean is that sort which is involved with a being’s striving for perseverence. If you’re not spun up on Spinoza, then that probably didn’t make much sense. And if ou are, then you should be a little suspicious by some of the things I’ve already said.
By the way, this doll is awesome. And my birthday is coming up.
