Is he based or cringe, and in which way? It's really puzzling me. I think I could understand world much better if I knew the answer to this question.
And I'm especially interested in your opinion, @Efiliste.

Anything else? How do you understand natura naturans vs natura naturata?
Yep, nature acting and nature acted upon
True. But what is the way Spinoza understands it? I don't think it's dialectical materialism which would imply man transforming nature then being transformed by his transformation, forming a spiral ascent into the New Jerusalem; as Spinoza excludes change from his system i.e. nature is eternal and always the same.
I'm not so sure about that, might have to read Spinoza to find that out.
Okay. How do you stand with Hegel?
His dialectical theory was pretty good, his view of art of good too, what do you think of him ?
So far I've been very satisfied with his thinking and of the Hegelian tradition generally, but there are still so many things I don't understand. He is a Gigachad of philosophy no doubt.
Are you doing some reading currently?
I am, indeed reading the Maxim's of La Rochefoucauld. And yourself ?
k
I am reading Paul Tillich's "The Courage to Be." It is an existentialist work and I hope it will help me with my anxiety. So far existentialism has been effective in this tbh.
>_<
The Existentialist movement had many great minds and works
i think so too
Very good
