Spinoza's Theory Of Mind

The question of spiritual theory is the long-standing problem of many philosophers and theologians in history.Ancient and modern scholars around the issue of thinking have formed a lot of their own unique ideas.In the history of Western philosophy,Plato,Aristotle,Augustine,Thomas Aquinas and Descartes have formed their own independent thinking on the theory of mind.However,according to Spinoza,the theory of mind can be said to be unique,especially his different mind theory and traditional spiritual theory.What is the ideological origin of Spinoza' s mind theory? What is the theory of mind? Does it have nothing to do with the essence? What is the research problem of Spinoza's mind theory? What is his purpose? What is the significance of his theory and its influence? This series of questions constitute the basic theoretical framework of this thesis.The first part is the discussion of the theoretical origin of the theory of mind.This thesis began to explore the initial theory of mind theory from the ancient Greek period,along the development of history gradually finding that Spinoza put forward the basis of spiritual theory to find how is the first difference between the soul and the body.The ancient Greek Plato,Aristotle was originally defined how the medieval Thomas Aquinas and Augustine were developed,and how the early days of Descartes solved the relationship between the body and the mind.The second part is the ontological discussion of the basic theory of Spinoza's theory of mind.Firstly it is to introduce Spinoza's theory of how to inherit Descartes' s theory of mind.The second is the introduction of Spinoza God,the natural,the entity of the Trinity view,embodies the Spinoza pantheistic thought,belittle the status of God.And then on the Spinoza mind theory based on a comprehensive analysis of the function of the mind and its role,Spinoza finds that the mind is an infinite thinking attribute style,infinite thinking attribute style as God and individual things to connect the two together.The third part is the epistemological discussion of Spinoza's theory of mind.It is divided into three aspects of the content,first of all to exploring the initial composition of the mind theory.Spinoza believes that the initial composition is the concept,and the concept refers to theconcept of the system,so the mind is the same concept,but the idea is indeed the first.Finally,the existence of the mind must have a real existence-the body,and Spinoza thinks that the body is widely extended attribute style,where Spinoza fusing mind and body unity in different attribute style is to solve the Cartesian legacy of physical and mental Relationship problem.The fourth part is the key part of this paper,mainly discusses the relationship between mind and body.The most important thing is to discuss the relationship between mind and body.First of all,thinking and extension of the attributes of their duties,do not interfere with each other.Secondly,the mind and body are the same two attributes.Spinoza believes that the mind and the body is unified,but it is the nature of thinking and extension of the property to understand the body and soul Bale.The fifth part is the evaluation and influence of Spinoza's theory of mind.The first part is the discussion of the evaluation of Spinoza's theory of mind,because in the early days of Spinoza,he inherited from the viewpoint of Descartes.However,Descartes' s theory of body and mind is denied and the relationship between mind and body is redefined.The second part is the discussion of the influence of Spinoza's theory of mind on Kant,Fichte,Schelling and Hegel.
