| German commentary | Die Gotteslehre der KV interpretiert auf dem Hintergrund der reformierten Scholastik (Kap. 6) ; Konsistenzprüfung der Metaphysik/Gotteslehre Spinozas (Kap. 8.5.): "In terms of modal logic, the philosophy of Spinoza compresses reality within too few modal categories. Theologically, it narrows divine perfection to a necessity of being and acting that compromises both his independence and love. Necessitarianism is no possibility for Reformed thought." (S. 390-391) |
