33Der neue Spinozismus und das Verhältnis von deskriptiver und revisionärer MetaphysikDeutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 63 (3). 2015.Relying on the assumption that Spinoza makes a double use of the principle of sufficient reason, Michael Della Rocca has defended a reconstruction of Spinoza’s approach as a metaphysical outlook according to which all particulars vanish in the only and one divine substance. This implies nothing less than a radical attempt to suggest a new and completely revisionary form of metaphysics. After a short discussion of Strawson’s distinction between revisionary and descriptive metaphysics and an expos…Read more

21Spinozas Erkenntnistheorie: Eine naturalisierte Epistemologie?Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 57 (3): 419-432. 2009.This article addresses the question whether or not, in his Ethics, Spinoza is committed to a naturalized epistemology. In the first step, the cognitive psychological principles involved in the concept of imagination are discussed. It is shown that Spinoza does indeed suggest a causal account for the contents of human thought, yet, in contrast to many psychologist views he does not privilege physicalist explanations, but allows for historical as well as for linguistic accounts. In the second sect…Read more

55Finite subjects in the ethics: Spinoza on indexical knowledge, the first person and the individuality of human mindsRenz, Ursula . Finite Subjects in the Ethics: Spinoza on Indexical Knowledge, the First Person and the Individuality of Human Minds. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2013.This chapter suggests a new interpretation of Spinoza’s concept of mind claiming that the goal of the equation of the human mind with the idea of the body is not to solve the mind-body problem, but rather to show how we can, within the framework of Spinoza’s rationalism, conceive of finite minds as irreducibly distinguishable individuals. To support this view, the chapter discusses the passage from E2p11 to E2p13 against the background of three preliminaries, i.e. the notion of a union between m…Read more
