{"product_id":"spinoza-and-the-case-for-elhanan-yakira-9781107069985","title":"Spinoza and the Case for Philosophy","description":"This book analyzes three often-debated questions of Spinoza's legacy: Was Spinoza a religious thinker? How should we understand Spinoza's mind-body doctrine? What meaning can be given to Spinoza's notions - such as salvation, beatitude, and freedom - which are seemingly incompatible with his determinism, his secularism, and his critique of religion. Through a close reading of often-overlooked sections from Spinoza's Ethics, Elhanan Yakira argues that these seemingly conflicting elements are indeed compatible, despite Spinoza's iconoclastic meanings. Yakira argues that Ethics is an attempt at providing a purely philosophical - as opposed to theological - foundation for the theory of value and normativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elhanan Yakira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110706998X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107069985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Elhanan Yakira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067055173887,"sku":"9781107069985","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89c316c7-3b4e-4b5f-9fd9-e4bc983f6d14.jpg?v=1685410920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spinoza-and-the-case-for-elhanan-yakira-9781107069985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
