>>28353959Spinoza is literally the wholesome Keenu Reeves of metaphysics. The go to philosopher if you want to be safe and are uninterested in any real word application of philosophy beyond beautiful narratives that tell you about a world that has no bearing on someone who has a fucking consciousness. Literally normfag tier, with the added benefit of Einstein endorsing him with his God/Nature (literally who hasn't thought of this) bullshit. I don't know what Italian communists see in that guy but he's as much of a philosophical dead end as Plato's forms. Maybe it's because I'm east asian and was exposed to a similar world view already through Taoism and Buddhism but he's just overrated for me who cares about things that matter like culture and individuals.
