German commentary | "Spinoza is often portrayed as following the Stoics in proposing a purely intellectual therapy of the errors that underpin the passions, the passions that hold us in bondage. This chapter argues that this proposal is mistaken by showing that knowledge, instead of eliminating our emotions and desires, functions itself as an affective power" (from the abstract). |
