On #ThisDayInHistory in 1632, #Dutch and #Jewish philosopher #BaruchSpinoza was born. His geometric writing style and complex argumentation disguised some huge intuitive leaps and assumptions, but #Spinoza's #monism helped make #Enlightenment rationalism and #deism possible.

Det stod "fjärrstyrda", men jag ändrade till "hjärnstyrda".

Undrar vad Mats, filosofen på Konsthallstorget tycker om det.
#filosofi #monism

Mats, konsthallsfilosofen, fortsätter träget sitt värv med att upplysa allmänheten med hjälp av sina handmålade skyltar på Konsthallstorget i Malmö.

Någon annan har med krita ställt en fråga som lyder:
"Borde den här skylten få finnas?"

Today I rode my Honda Super Blackbird CBR1100XX to have a chat with my pal Mats, the philosopher of the square of Malmö art gallery.

For Spinoza’s #monism, the universe is one infinite, eternal substance, and we are its temporary modes—fleeting waves in an #ocean of being. Our minds and bodies will dissolve, but the substance endures, transforming. From the perspective of #eternity, distinctions like self and other, life and death, are illusions.We are moments of the infinite, inseparable from the whole, destined to return to it. #philosophy #psychology #science #nature
Jonny Thomson on Instagram: "What if death is not the end? It might not be the end that you want, but death will not be the end of your story. Because for Spinoza’s #monism , there is more to our postmortem existence than we might think. #Spinoza argued that the entire universe is one substance. Your body and each of your thoughts are part of this substance. Everything is part of one infinite, eternal substance. But everything that we interact with, all of the objects and the people that we see, are modes. Modes are temporary configurations of this underlying reality. So, you are just a particular composition at this moment in time. Eventually you will move on to a different mode because we are just waves in an #ocean , briefly distinct but inseparable from the whole. One day our waves will fade back into the sea. Likewise, you are just a fleeting moment of the infinite. You are a temporary manifestation of the mono substance. Eventually, your mind and your body will disintegrate and you will rejoin the great ocean. But the substance won’t vanish. It will transform. Spinoza invites us to see the world from the perspective of #eternity . From this view, the distinctions we make between others and ourselves, or between life and death are illusions born of our limited perspectives. So, you are not just a human. You are the #universe momentarily expressed as you. And one day you will rejoin the infinite substance, not as a loss, but as part of the eternal flow of modes. #philosophy #metaphysics #european"

A look through the #materialistic #monism glasses

Anyone who always sees things through their own glasses (doesn't even have to be “pink”) will at some point lose sight of the big picture with all its facets. Or to put it in a more modern culturally technical way: Anyone who is always sitting in their #filter #bubble or #echo #chamber need not be surprised

A new paint job for the #science building ?
