{"product_id":"9781107069985","title":"Spinoza and the Case for Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52301010600247,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":720.59,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781107069985-1.jpg?v=1783150535","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781107069985","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
