Doing so, the book defends a realist rationalist interpretation of Spinoza’s approach which does not entail commitment to a ontological reduction of subjective experience to mere intelligibility. In contrast to a long-standing tradition of Hegelian reading of Spinoza’s Ethics, it thus defends the notion that the experience of finite subject is fully real. application/pdf Renz, Ursula Hinter Spinozas Ethik steht eine ebenso simple wie programmatische Überzeugung: Subjektive Erfahrung ist erklärbar, und ihre gelungene Erklärung ist von ethischer Relevanz. Denn sie macht uns klüger, freier und glücklicher. Dieses Buch zeigt, was für eine Theorie des menschlichen Geistes diesem Programm zugrunde liegt.
