Spinoza's ground zero thesis is that \"Nature is one and all.\" Everything (including God, mathematics, morals, our own thoughts) finds its place within Spinoza's (capital N) Nature. It is the place that each thing occupies within the grid of Nature-from God on down the cosmic tree of being-that determines its fundamental (lowercase n) nature. For Spinoza, one's nature is determined by one's place in Nature or, in terms of the fundamental axiom of the book-\u003cem\u003ethe Nature-unfolding axiom\u003c\/em\u003e: the nature of x=Nature at x. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlmog's reading of Spinoza is distinct in its understanding of the deductive abstractions of part I-II of the \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e by means of the concrete illustrations of Spinoza's \u003cem\u003eintended subject matter \u003c\/em\u003ein his political writings, where he tells us directly (i) what Nature is and (ii) how man's nature is not a separate kingdom from the Nature-kingdom but merely an unfolding of it. This leads, as in the \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e, to a final chapter on what it meant to Spinoza to live in symbiosis with Nature and, therefore, to be one with it-and with God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Almog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199314393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseph Almog \u003c\/strong\u003eis the author of \u003cem\u003eReferential Mechanics \u003c\/em\u003e(forthcoming), \u003cem\u003eCogito: Descartes and Thinking the World \u003c\/em\u003e(2008), \u003cem\u003eWhat Am I?
