Spinoza: God, Nature, and the Ethics of Understanding

Baruch Spinoza offered a bold and radical vision of reality: a single divine substance unfolding through natural laws — not above the world, but as the world. In this session, we’ll explore Spinoza’s pantheism, his view of emotions as forms of knowledge, and his call to live wisely through understanding. Is true freedom found not in willpower, but in aligning ourselves with necessity? And can reason itself lead to spiritual liberation?
