B. Spinoza [ God and Free Will [ Determinism

#spinoza "s thoughts on freedom, #determinism , and the nature of #god , concepts that continue to challenge and inspire. We examine the illusion of #freewill and question whether our choices are genuinely free or determined by external forces. We also discuss good and evil in a deterministic world, probing how we can talk about morality if everything is predetermined.

➡️ video Description:
Why Spinoza:
Spinoza is a philosopher whose ideas remain profoundly relevant even today. His radical views on God, freedom, and human nature challenge our conventional beliefs and encourage us to see the world through a different lens. Spinoza's philosophy offers a unique perspective on determinism and free will, urging us to understand the underlying causes of our actions rather than judging them. His optimistic view of freedom as intrinsic to rational understanding and action provides a refreshing alternative to passive or fatalistic outlooks.

Key Words:
modern philosophy, philosophy of life, self-discovery, existentialist thought

Brilliant. Without having read him, I am a Spinozan already intuitively.

[tejinizam]

I've so much of reverence for this Great Man🙏 . Reminds me of the Buddha and Adwaita philosophy.

[georgehegarty]

I was born an atheist, because I could not accept the " GOD ' in the cloud story, now I fully acept Spinoza GOD.

[toni]

The whole world swallowed a view of a painting of God on the roof of the Sistine Chapel and it's been in the minds of people ever since. Where he brought life into the world by touching the finger of Adam. People have loved and believed it ever since it was first seen and now that photograph is everywhere. Everyone has seen it and all Christians believe it without question.

[eddybayona]

Fascinating. I needed to listen to this. Thank you for sharing.

[gerhardfischer]

Yes, well said, well thought and well done!

[mehmetkurhan]

“There is no contradiction, freedom is not the opposite of determinism but it’s fulfillment through understanding “ that’s it ! That explains free will in a deterministic world. Thanks for your great work

[petergalan]

Great theory which is not easy to understand !

[ejsomo]

Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏

[petergalan]

This theory makes more sense, that all religions together !

[shafiqjasar]

Thank you for the video. As much as I admire Spinoza, these Ideas are not new. Eastern philosophies of ancient India and ancient China have similar ideas, so do some Greek philosophers. In the context of Judo-Christian belief systems, however, Spinoza created shockwaves that are still reverberating religious orthodoxies.

[Teelirious]

"I believe in Spinoza's God." Words to deterministically live by.

[Jeevansathish]

God is word. God is the only one who can remain stable without change, form.

[awakenotwoke]

His thinking definitely mirrors those of non dualism. What’s important is the impact this knowledge has on you quality of life

[Andrewbliss]

Free will and destiny (predetermination) are best understood in this example: our weight is our free will but our height is predetermined. So also in our life.

[king_lou_fassa]

This is the first time I comprehensively understood Spinoza (and I inherit many of his ideas in my own philosophy). If I had one small critique, it would be that some of the examples of nature are out of context for HIS time. For example, he wouldn't have known about other galaxies or sub-atomic particles.

[adocampo]

Human consciousness keeps on growing, from the experience in childhood to adulthood to mysticism and wisdom or pure consciousness.

[carenkurdjinian]

Love The Idea and The Interpretation….🌞

[boonraypipatchol]

No GOD,
No Freewill,
Causes and Consequences,
You're on your own,
You are what you do.
