Synopsis
In Spinoza and Time, Samuel Alexander asks how Time and Space shape reality and what that means for science and philosophy.
This edition presents a clear, accessible look at how time becomes a central feature of existence, how four-dimensional thinking changes our view of events, and how Spinoza's ideas can illuminate modern questions about the universe and mind.
- Learn how time, space, and change interrelate in a four-dimensional view of reality.
- See how evolution of matter, life, and mind might be understood through a Spinozist lens.
- Explore debates about the nature of attributes, God, and the universal nisus driving change.
- Grasp why the concept of deity might be framed as the world’s unfolding intention rather than a single being.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from Spinoza and Time
The Arthur Davis Memorial Lecture was founded in 1917, under the auspices of the Jewish Historical Society of England, by his collaborators in the translation of "The Service of the Synagogue," with the object of fostering Hebraic thought and learning in honour of an unworldly scholar. The Lecture is to be given annually in the anniversary week of his death, and the lectureship is to be open to men or women of any race or creed, who are to have absolute liberty in the treatment of their subject.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical concept of time, exploring its intricate relationship with space and existence. The author draws inspiration from the renowned 17th-century philosopher Spinoza, revisiting his ideas in light of contemporary mathematical physics and the theory of relativity. The author's central argument challenges Spinoza's view of time as a mere characteristic of finite things, instead proposing that time itself is an attribute of the ultimate reality ââ â a dynamic and ever-changing space-time continuum. This shift in perspective leads to a reevaluation of Spinoza's metaphysical framework, particularly the concepts of substance, modes, and the hierarchy of existence. This book delves into profound questions about the nature of reality, the structure of the universe, and the place of humanity within it. It explores the interconnectedness of space and time, the emergence of complex structures from simpler ones, and the possibility of multiple levels of perception beyond our human experience. The book's exploration of time as a fundamental attribute of existence offers a fresh perspective on understanding the world around us, prompting us to reconsider our assumptions about the nature of reality and the limits of human knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
