A man too based for his own good?
He was profoundly ignorant and made absurd arguments.
>Proves God exists in your path>Nothing personal Reddit boy
>>18548350>made absurd argumentsLike what?>>18548360>proves god existsIn any relevant religion he'd be basically considered an evil atheist Also his views are heavily compatible with atheism in terms of usefulness. Atheists would have zero problems if the entire world consisted of spinozists
>>18548386his claim of necessity and being contrasted against necessity before being (the correct view) ensures a universe without being itself, his logic is self-refuting. Being cannot exist without necessitation.
>>18548399>necessity before being (the correct view)Rookie category mistake. Necessity is not a thingy that manufactures being. Being is already the widest category, nothing is prior to it unless you presuppose a prior. It is in fact YOU who is incoherent here, necessity before being itself doesn't make sense if you think about it for more than two seconds. How would that even look like?But sure, let's presume that is somehow coherent and we take it literally. >Being cannot exist without necessitation.Then funnily enough you just confirm Spinozas view, see principle of sufficient reason. The only difference is that Spinoza claims external necessitation is redundant, because otherwise you get into an infinite feedback loop of external necessities.
