| German commentary | "Rather than a weak and attenuated version of relational autonomy understood as a theory in which social relationships are merely needed by the individual for her autonomy to pay out effectively, Spinoza's philosophical vision suggests a stronger version. Instead, transindividual relations are constitutive of persons at every stage of cognitive-affective development, on the one hand, and, on the other, an infinitely expansive internal self-constitution of the individual by her (causal) relations is a necessary condition of her fulfilment of the end. Seen from an alternative perspective as the achievment of individuation, the fullest individual causal self-explanation, the state of infinite constitutive relations, is not only necessary but sufficient."
